Mackerel,
a great source of essential omega 3 fatty acids, is fantastic served with a
sweet and sour sauce. It's a low calorie food, try it, especially for those like moi who are still trying to get into shape, delicious dish. Lol! Bloggers opinion.

·
Vegetable oil for deep frying
·
2 boneless mackerel, each weighing about
150g/5oz
·
Pinch of salt
·
Arrowroot for dusting
·
4 whole spring onions, trimmed
·
4 sprigs of fresh coriander
·
4 sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley
·
Coriander and parsley sprigs and 1 tbsp
chopped cashew nuts to garnish
·
Steamed bok choi to serve
For the sauce
·
2 tsp honey
·
1 tsp salt
·
5 tbsp cider vinegar
·
3 tbsp dry sherry
·
3 tbsp light soy sauce
·
200ml/7fl oz fish stock
First make the sauce. Place all the
ingredients in a pan over a low heat.
Bring to just below boiling point then strain
and keep warm.
Heat a medium pan of oil, 8-10cm/ 31⁄4-4in
deep, to a temperature of 180°C, 350°F. Season the mackerel with salt then dust
in the arrowroot. Fry in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on
kitchen paper.
Fry the spring onions for 30 seconds. Remove
and drain on kitchen paper. Add the coriander and parsley sprigs to the hot
sauce for a few seconds to soften them.
Arrange the steamed bok choi in the base of a
dish. Place the mackerel on top and pour a little sauce over. Arrange the
coriander, parsley and onion on top of the fish. Scatter with the chopped
cashews before serving.
Shall try.
