Smoked Mackerel with Nuts, Grapes and Brown Rice
- 2 small mackerel smoked
- 2 1/2 ounces hazelnuts (filberts) chopped, toasted
- 1 pound grapes, seedless seedless
- 1/2 pound brown rice
- 1 x mint leaves fresh
- 2 each lemons
- 1 x sunflower oil
- 1/2 pint yogurt creamy
- Cook the rice in double its volume of fast boiling salted water.
- Refresh it and dress it with 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon oil and plenty of salt and pepper.
- Stir in the nuts and 5 to 6 tablespoons chopped mint or watercress.
- (Watercress is good but mint is even better for this dish.)
- Press the mixture firmly into a lightly oiled ring mould, cover and chill for a couple of hours or more.
- Close to serving time, halve the grapes and toss them in the juice of half a lemon plus scant 1 tablespoon oil.
- Add some mint or watercress sprigs.
- Skin, bone and flake the fish and mix it in gently.
- Unmould the ring of rice, put some of the fish and grape mixture into the centre and garnish with sprigs of mint or watercress.
- Serve the rest of the fish mixture in a separate bowl, and hand round the well-chilled yoghurt in a second bowl.
