Directions

Rory O'Connell's Mackerel Cakes with Spiced Tomato Oil


Serves 4

 

 

  1. Cut 250g of the mackerel into 1 cm pieces. Place the remaining 250g in a food processor and using the pulse button, render it to a coarse puree. This takes only a matter of seconds.
  2. Mix the diced and pureed mackerel in a bowl with the chilli, garlic, ginger, coriander and lemon and season with salt and pepper. (Fry a tiny piece of the mixture in a pan until cooked and taste to check the seasoning.)
  3. Shape the mixture into 4 round neat cakes with straight sides and flat on top and bottom.
  4. Roll in the cous-cous to coat top, bottom and sides. The cakes can be refrigerated until later if necessary.
  5. Next, heat the oil and butter in a small pan until foaming and add the cakes. Reduce the heat somewhat and cook on both sides until golden in colour and firm to the touch.
  6. Serve the cakes on hot plates with Spiced Tomato Oil.
