Baked mackerel
Ingredients
Method
Fill a large saucepan with plenty of salted boiling water. Blanch the sprouting broccoli for 1-2 minutes. Drain and then immediately submerge the broccoli into a bowl of ice-cold water to stop it from cooking further. Drain in a colander and allow to dry completely. Toss the broccoli in rapeseed oil and season.
Put a ribbed griddle pan on the hob, highest heat and leave it for 5 minutes until it is extremely hot. Grill the broccoli in batches. Whilst chargrilling the purple sprouting broccoli in batches prepare the accompanying dressing.
Put a small saucepan on the hob; moderate heat. Add 100ml rapeseed oil, then the garlic and chillies and cook them until the garlic just starts to colour. Be careful not to let the garlic burn- it will taste terrible- remember it continues cooking once taken from the heat.
Toss the chargrilled broccoli with the garlic, chilli and finely sliced lemon. Divide between 4 warmed dinner plates accompanying the baked mackerel.
Baked Mackerel
Pre-heat the oven 220ºC/440ºF/Gas Mark 6. The fishmonger has gutted the mackerel, otherwise the fish remains whole- head on. Rinse the fish inside and out under a running cold tap. Make 3 or 4 scores with a sharp knife on each side of the fish. Season inside and out.
Place on a baking sheet, lightly greased with rapeseed oil; put the tray into the hot oven, immediately drop the temperature to 180ºC/320ºC/Gas Mark 4. This fish will get an initial sizzle to crisp up the skin then cook in the reduced temperature of 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve with the warm chargrilled purple sprouting broccoli, chilli and garlic.Â
Squeeze a little lemon juice over each mackerel.
- 500g Purple sprouting broccoli
- Rapeseed oil
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 mild red chilli peppers, de-seeded, thinly sliced
- ½ lemon, sliced ultra thin
- Malden salt, freshly ground black pepper

Spotted dick
Ingredients
Method
Mix together the dry ingredients with the currants and zest, then add the milk and beat the batter together.
Using your hands and a clean work surface, roll the mixture into a cylinder – about 15cm long and 6cm in diameter and wrap the cylinder in buttered greaseproof paper – making a crease/pleat/fold in the greaseproof that can open out as the pudding expands when cooking – allowing it to rise. Tie the paper both ends.
Take your largest pan – place a plate – smaller that the diameter of the pan resting on 3 teacups. Fill the pan to the level of the plate with water and bring to boil. Place the tied greaseproof pudding on the plate and steam, lid on, for 1 hour.
Remove the paper and slice the pudding into portions.Â
Serve with custard.
- 300g plain flour
- 10g baking powder
- 150g shredded suet
- 75g castor sugar
- 100g currants
- Finely grated zest of 2 lemons
- 200ml milk
