Ingredients

7 total
  • 300 g of cherry tomatoes
  • 300 g of purple sprouting broccoli, ends trimmed
  • 13 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 garlic cloves, bashed
  • 2 400g tins cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 mackerel fillets

Method

6 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Place the tomatoes and broccoli in a non-stick oven tray with 2 tbsp of the oil and some seasoning. Toss and cook for 15 mins.

  2. Step 2

    Place 5 tbsp oil into a saucepan along with the rosemary, garlic and some seasoning and warm over a low heat for 10 mins, to infuse the oil with the flavours.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the rosemary and garlic from the oil and discard. Add the beans to the pan and mash roughly with the flavoured oil, before warming through over a low heat.

  4. Step 4

    When their cooking time is up, remove the tomatoes and broccoli from the oven and carefully tip just the juices into a bowl, then set the tray aside. To the same bowl, add the capers, lemon zest and juice, 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp honey and 1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley, and mix well.

  5. Step 5

    Fry the mackerel fillets in 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan, for 1-2 mins per side.

  6. Step 6

    To serve, spoon some bean mash onto each plate along with the broccoli and tomatoes, place the mackerel on top and drizzle over the dressing.
