Ingredients

FOR THE FISH
  • 3 fresh mackerel, filleted and pin boned
FOR THE SALSA
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 red pepper
  • 2 chilli peppers
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 bunch coriander, finely chopped
  • Juice of 6 limes
  • 200ml olive oil
FOR THE TACOS
  • 350g Masa Harina
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

SET UP YOUR EGG

Set up your EGG for direct cooking using a Cast Iron Plancha. Your target temperature is 200˚C.

MAKE THE SALSA

Cut the tomatoes, pepper, chillies and onion in half and place on the hot plancha. Cook until the cut side is very burnt (around 30 minutes). Chop roughly and mix with the coriander, lime juice and olive oil. Set aside.

MAKE THE TACOS

Mix the Masa Harina and oil with enough warm water to form a dry, almost crumbly dough. Form into golf-ball-sized balls and use a taco press (or rolling pin) to form tacos. You should get about 12.

Cook the tacos on the Plancha – until they are slightly charred and pliable. Wrap in foil and keep in a warm place.

COOK THE MACKEREL

Cook the mackerel skin side down on the Plancha until the skin is crisp and the fish is 90% cooked – flip over for 10 seconds then remove.

Now build your taco: use whatever salad or slaw you like, add some mackerel and dress with the salsa.
