Snackerel Plate
Our formula for a satisfying snackerel (yes - its a mackerel snack) plate is simple: start with a delicious tin of of smoked mackerel, then serve it in the company of some crunchy vegetables, a cracker or a bread, always butter, a fresh herb, and a squeeze of citrus. This is great as a quick meal, but is also lavish enough to serve friends for an impromptu dinner hang.
Ingredients
1 tin Slow Smoked Mackerel with Chili Flakes
A small handful of sliced turnips or radishes
A small cucumber, cut into slices or spears
A small pinch of flaky salt to season your vegetables
A couple pieces of your favorite bread or cracker
Enough butter to generously coat your chosen amount of bread
A small handful of basil leaves, or another fresh herb you have on hand
A wedge of citrus (lemon, lime, or in our case - a little seasonal key lime, all work!)
Preparation
Assemble all of the ingredients on a plate. You can build little open faced sandwiches, dunk the turnips/radishes in butter, or eat the mackerel plain with your fingers followed by a fresh bite of cucumber - you can’t go wrong!
