Ingredients
- 2 fillets smoked mackerel fillets
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 400 grams mixed beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 small red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams baby spinach leaves
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and mince the garlic. Chop the fresh parsley and set everything aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.
Step 4
Stir in the rinsed and drained mixed beans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Step 5
While the bean mixture is cooking, prepare the smoked mackerel. Remove the skin and gently flake the fillets into bite-sized pieces.
Step 6
Turn off the heat and gently fold the flaked smoked mackerel and chopped parsley into the skillet. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 7
To serve, divide the baby spinach leaves between two plates. Spoon the warm mackerel and bean mixture over the spinach to allow it to slightly wilt.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this wholesome and flavorful meal!
