Smoked mackerel/Kippers ideas...

bitsandpieces

I normally poach smoked mackeral in milk (which makes a kind of sauce) and have with poached eggs, boiled or steamed green veg and toast or mashed potato/squash. If you have it with toast, it's a nice 10-15mins meal to make.

I make hashes a lot. Last night we had on made of potato, butternut squash, onion, chorizo, bacon and peppers. It was delicious.

Sorry to sound stupid but I've never made hash and this sounds delicious! Can you tell me how I would go about making it please:D

Smoked Mackeral flaked through a nice mac cheese is scrummy.

We use the smoked mackerel with peppercorns to make a yummy creamy pasta sauce - not diet friendly but definitely yummy!

Start with a load of chopped onion (coarsely chopped - you want to taste the onion in the final dish) fried up with a little oil until soft and sweet, then a clove of garlic crushed in and stirred around for a minute or two. Add the flaked fish - remove skin and any bones you find. Squeeze half a small lemon over it and warm through while stirring well for a few seconds, then add some fresh cream, single or double will do but that fake stuff doesn't seem to work as well. Add enough to make a fairly runny sauce, and more lemon juice to taste, then simmer it until thickened enough to stick well on pasta. If desired, add freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste. Nice with tagliatelle (sp?), but works well with any pasta shapes you have.

What I like about this is the different tastes and textures working together - the onion adds some texture and sweetness, the fish and lemon work well against the richness of the cream, and the pepper and garlic pep it up a bit.

Put them into a pan with a tight fitting lid over a low heat. Turn every so often until they're warned through. Serve with fresh white bread and loats of butter; yummy

Lots more ideas here; I'll merge this thread later to keep ideas together.

Wrap in tinfoil, sling on BBQ outside rather than have the whiff in the house!

Course, this is better if you have a gas BBQ as its quick and easy
