Don’t we all have those days when all you want is something quick to throw together to satisfy those hunger pangs? I had a wonderful weekend of cooking and creating but by midday yesterday I was having one of those days that I have just told you about. My hubby stopped by at the local Euro butcher in the morning and brought back a crusty delicious baguette. With my hunger pangs roaring and the baguette screaming my name I swiftly made my way to the pantry and to the rescue was a lonely tin of mackerel that was dying to be paired with the baguette, so I obliged.
There was some delicious basil pesto lying in the fridge so I decided to throw that into the mix as well. Some baby tomatoes, sliced red onions and fresh chilli made this a match made in heaven. I purchased the mackerel from Woolworths, I have linked it for ease of reference
Sometimes it really is the simple things in life that can make those hunger pangs run away. I am so glad that I added the basil pesto to the smoked mackerel and I hope you give it a try to. Let me know what you think when you do.
Happy cooking
