Stuffed Mackerels


Ingredients:

2 mackerel (frozen)
5 tablespoon flour, all purpose
1/2 cup sunflower oil
Stuffing:4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 teaspoon pine nuts
Fish meat (inside of the mackerels)
2 teaspoon currants
3 stalk of parsley, chopped
2 stalk of dill, chopped
Pinch of cinnamon
Salt
Pepper

How to cook:

First, cut the mackerel's head and discard. Slightly rub the fish with palm of your hand, so that the meat and the bone should separate from the skin. Unplug the bone from the top. Push the meat and bone outward from the tail. Discard the guts. Separate and discard the bones from the fish meat. Finely chop the meat portion.

To prepare the stuffing; saute the onion and pine nuts with olive oil for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the filling into the pot. Turn the heat of when the fish meat is cooked. It takes only 3 minutes. Set aside.
Stuff the skin of mackerel with the filling by using a teaspoon. The skin may burst during frying. To prevent this, tie the mackerel at three points with the string.

Here, you have 2 option. You will either grill them or fry them. If you chooese to grill them, just cover them with olive oil and grill. If you want to fry them, dust the fishes with the flour. Heat up the sun flower oil in frying pan. Fry each side, turn them gently. Place on a paper towel to soak up any extra oil. You will love the taste. Kali oreksi!
