Fish linguine

I've wanted to make this recipe for ages. I remember finding it randomly and always looked forward to making it. So today was the today! And it was well worth the wait.. Really easy to make, and really tasty!

Here's where I got it from: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jamie-oliver/fish-linguine-recipe/index.html

Yum yum...!

Ingredients:

  • olive oil 
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 bulb fennel, herby tops removed and reserved
  • 4 anchovies
  • 1/2 onion
  • 4 mackerel fillets, skin on, scaled and pinboned (the recipe actually uses red mullet)
  • 1 lemon, zestet
  • 1 red chilli (I used dried chillies)
  • linguine


All the ingredients used

First start with the fennel and the garlic.

Grate both...

...then fry in some olive oil. Add the anchovies and onion.

Add the salt then lay the mackerel fillets, skin side up, on top. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, and pour in a little water (or white wine) to stop everything frying, and to start stewing. Add some olive oil, pepper and chillies. IN the meantime start cooking the pasta.
When the pasta is ready, remove the fish from the sauce and mix the pasta and sauce together, check the seasoning and serve with a drizzle of olive oil on top and some more fennel tops. Add half the juice from a lemon and some extra olive oil.

Καλἠ ὀρεξη!!
