Smoked Mackerel – Super cheap fishy on a dishy.

Smoked Mackerel – Super cheap fishy on a dishy.

Today’s lunch was a bit more successful that yesterday’s disaster and I fed 5 people a proper meal for under £3. That’s less than 60p each.

Ingredients

• Pack of Basics smoked mackerel
• 5 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 onion
• Quarter sweetheart cabbage – any bits of veg will do.
• 1 Lemon or a squirt of the Jiff stuff
• Bit of butter or oil for dressing potatoes.

Method

1. Boil potatoes without salt as mackerel is salty enough
2. Lightly fry chopped onion and cabbage (or courgettes/spinach etc)
3. Skin and flake mackerel.
4. Drain potatoes when cooked, add veg and mackerel. Mix in a knob of butter or splash of oil and serve with lemon wedges (or with a squirt of Jiff)
