I think its about time I did a food post, GOSH! When I started this blog my intention was to do mainly food posts and bring in a bit of style here and there. It has obviously gone the other way around, with me doing more style posts and popping in food posts as I go along.
As much as I would like my readers to believe that I am not in any way, shape or form vain, (HA, who am I kidding, I do not believe it myself), style posts are easier to do, also sometimes I start taking the food photos and forget to do a step or I get distracted halfway through and before I realized it we are at the table munching down the food with only photos of the ingredients taken.
So with much concentration and effort, I give you my oven baked spiced mackerel, ta daaaaa!!!!!
|
The ingredients I used are: 800g Mackerel, a teaspoon each of coriander and cumin seeds, smoked paprika, thyme, and mexican chili powder. 1 medium sized lemon, 3 small fresh tomatoes, 1 medium sized onion, 4 baby capsicums, 1 habanero chili, 1 knorr stock cube, 2 tablespoons olive oil |
|
In a food processor, blend together onions, chili, spices, olive oil and stock cubes. |
|
Finely slice lemon and use it to stuff the fish |
|
Rub the fish with spice mix and marinate in fridge for 15 to 20 minutes |
|
Preheat oven to 190C fan forced. Removed fish from fridge, spread chopped tomatoes and capsicum on top. |
|
Cover with foil and baked for 20 minutes, remove foil and return to the oven for 5 minutes. |
|
Delicious!!! |

No worries Olufunmi and thank you. xoxo
DeleteThis looks delicious! I have two confession: I don't think we can get mackeral here and I am really squeamish about whole fish and cannot cope with heads and tails. But I am going to try this using headless trout.
ReplyDeleteYou should wear fabulous outfits and pose beside the ingredients and later holding the finished dish. You can be the Australian-by way of Sierra Leone, Nigella Lawson. Thank you for the birthday wishes. I am kind of clueless about how that google thing works but apparently some of you knew it was my birthday. LOL

It was delicious, please do. I like the way you think Shawna, great idea, you know what, I might just take your advise on that one. Nigella Lawson haha.
