Peel the tomato (boil then plunge into cold water) , deseed and chop into 1cm dice.

Marinate the mackerel in finely sliced garlic, thyme, white wine and salt & pepper for 30 minutes. Pat dry and lightly dredge with flour.

Put some oil in a frying pan on medium heat and fry the mackerel for 5 minutes on each side.

Mix together all the dressing ingredients and arrange nicely on a serving dish. Place the mackerel on top and garnish with the thyme.

Tips & Note

●Score the mackerel skin first before marinating to stop the fish curling up
●You can add garlic or finely chopped onions into the dressing ingredients
●If you garnish with wild rocket, for example, this will really feel like a Mediterranean dish!

Osso Buco

Osso Buco, which translates as “hole of bone” is pure meaty awesomeness. Placing on a bed of risotto or polenta pays tribute to Osso Buco’s roots and takes this Italian comfort food to another level. Traditionally, Osso Buco is made with veal but see how I make Beef Osso Buco, a carnivorous wreath.

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs, Sous Vide

It can be difficult to make a perfect hard-boiled egg that has a creamy yolk and a tender white. Overcooking a hard-boiled egg, which is easy to do, results in a chalky and sometimes greenish yolk, a rubbery egg white and a slightly sulfuric taste. In this video I demonstrate how I use my sous vide to get the perfect hard-boiled egg.
