Smoked Mackrel in Cream

Smoked Mackrel in Cream

Again, a really easy smoked mackrel starter, and very impressive for guests. Takes very little time and effort. Serves 4

Ingredients:
  • 2 fillets of Smoked Mackrel (Peppered fillets from the supermarket are cheapest and best option, as they are generally well seasoned)
  • 1 pot of cream, preferable double.
  • ground nutmed
  • Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  1. tear up the mackrel fillets into small flakes. Place in 4 small pots or ramekens [sic]
  2. pour cream in to fill up pots leaving hals a centimeter at the top.
  3. shake on Parmesan and ground nutmeg to give an even cover to the top.
  4. Place, uncovered, in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until piping hot and browned on top. roughly 10-15 mins.
  5. Serve with rustic bread or ciabatta as a warm and rich starter.

Alternatives of this include shrimp or crayfish tails. Any good oily smoked fish works.

Enjoy!
