Only for radish fans :-) Have you ever eaten a cooked radish? This roasted in olive oil radish is a nice salty snack or side dish to go with meat. Still crunchy and deliciously garlic.

Ingredients:
500g of radishes
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of olive oil
salt, pepper

Method:

Peel the radishes and cut them in half. Transfer to a bowl and mix with olive oil, salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper or foil. Bake for about 45 minutes (mixing every 15 minutes). Alternatively, you can use an air fryer

Roasted mackerel pate - an idea for sandwich filling

 


Mackerel is a fairly well-known fish, although mostly available smoked. Probably because it spoils very quickly and smoking extends its shelf life. Recently, in my area, I can get it fresh, which I often use to the greater or lesser joy of my family. Are there other fans of this super tasty and healthy fish

Ingredients:
  • 2 mackerels
  • 1/3 cucumber (you can also use pickled or canned cucumber)
  • 1/3 finely chopped onion
  • parsley
  • 2 heaped teaspoons of mayonnaise (preferably home-made)
  • a teaspoon of mustard
  • salt pepper
  • lemon or lime

Method:
Lightly salt and pepper the mackerel and put lemon or lime wedges inside. Bake in the oven (about 15-20 minutes). Cool and then peel the skin off and take all the bones out. You have to be very careful because mackerel has a lot of small bones in it. Then mix with finely chopped onion, parsley and cucumber. Add the remaining ingredients - mayonnaise, mustard and pepper. Serve on your favourite bread.
