Escartefigue-style mackerel and fennel casserole


All the ingredients
1 tin of 80g la belle-iloise Escartefigue-style flaked Mackerel
1 petit fenouil (approx. 200g)
4 pinches salt
2 pinches of pepper
Let's get started
-
Step 1Cut the fennel in half and then into thin strips (using a mandolin)
-
Step 2In a bowl, toss the fennel with the salt and pepper
-
Step 3Mix in the tin of Escartefigue-style flaked mackerel
-
Step 4Divide the mixture between two mini casseroles and put the lids on (the volume decreases by half during cooking)
-
Step 5Bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes at 200 °C (gas mark 6)
-
Step 6Leave to stand 5 minutes before serving
Before cooking, add a few fennel seeds and a spoonful of ricotta or thick cream to the casserole dishes for extra creaminess.
By preparing the casseroles in advance and reheating them later in the oven or microwave, the fennel will be more caramelised... Bon appétit!
