Recipes Grilled (Broiled) Mackerel Fillet and Scrambled Egg on Toast Info

Simply grilled mackerel fillet and scrambled egg on toast

This recipe is a direct sequel to the one included in the previous post, serving to use the second mackerel fillet. The recipe is if anything even simpler, seeing the mackerel fillet grilled (broiled) and served on some very simply scrambled eggs and an ordinary slice of toast. Quick, easy, healthy and tasty is a great combination for any dish but the way the eggs were scrambled here may be a little different from what you are used to or even have seen before. It is a technique I saw demonstrated by that most celebrated of Scottish chefs, Gordon Ramsay, so a video showing the procedure in full is included just a little bit further down this page.

Ingredients

1 mackerel fillet
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil
2 free range, organic eggs
Little bit of butter
1 slice of bread

Mackerel fillet ready for grilling
Directions

The first step is to get the mackerel fillet on to grill. Preheat your grill (broiler) to medium to high. It's not necessary to cover the grill tray with tinfoil as I do - but it does make washing up a lot easier! Lightly brush the part of the grill tray (or foil) on which the mackerel fillet will lie with vegetable oil. Season the flesh side of the mackerel with salt and pepper and lay it flesh side down on the tray/foil. Brush the skin side lightly with more oil and place it under the gril for three or four minutes until the skin starts to blister and brown.

Below is the video of Gordon Ramsay scrambling eggs the way they were done in this recipe. To watch the video, simply make sure the sound is turned up on your PC/laptop and click the arrow in the centre of the screen below. The pertinent points (with photographs) are described immediately below.
So, in summary, this is the process that is followed to scramble the eggs:

Eggs ready for scrambling

Break the eggs in to a small saucepan and add a little bit of butter but nothing else. Do not even season at this stage.

Starting to scramble eggs

Put the saucepan on a medium heat and begin "scrambling" the eggs with a plastic spatula or wooden spoon. Remember to remove the pan intermittently from the heat as the eggs scramble to stop them overcooking.

Put your bread on to toast.

Scrambled eggs are seasoned

Season the eggs only at the last minute with salt, pepper and any fresh herb you choose to include.

Scrambled egg on toast

Lay the toast on the serving plate and carefully pour/spoon the scrambled eggs on top.

Grilled mackerel fillet laid on scrambled egg on toast

Lay the mackerel fillet skin side up on top of the scrambled eggs. As before, the mackerel skin is entirely edible but can simply be peeled off - starting at the tail end - if desired.

Recipes Potted Scottish Salmon - An Easy and Tasty Fish Spread Info

Poached Scottish salmon potted in dill herb butter A few weeks ago, I saw a programme on TV about potted shrimps, showing the full process from catching the shrimps, to cooking them to potting them for eating. It reminded me of how I made several variations of jellied conger eel last summer to delicious effect and I got to wondering how I could use the general concept to come up with a Scottish version of potted shrimp using a typically Scottish fish/seafood. I did consider langoustines first of all but sadly couldn't get hold of any so I came up with the perhaps slightly unorthodox idea of using salmon. The results were as good as I could ever have hoped for and this is a concept I will be doing a lot of experimentation with in future. Scottish salmon and flavourants ready for poaching Ingredients (Makes 4 Small Ramekins/Servings) 6 ounce Scottish salmon fillet, skin on 1/2 small white onion, peeled and sliced 1 bay leaf 6 to 8 whole black peppercorns Salt Combination of 2 parts ...

Recipes Scotch Lamb Burgers with Mint Sauce and Deep Fried Tattie Wedges Info

Beautiful, succulent and tasty lamb burgers When you buy a burger from a fast food outlet, it is likely it will have been made with beef, pork, or a combination of the two - as well as a number of potentially very unsavoury ingredients which you would probably prefer not to hear or think about... Even when burgers are prepared at home, beef or pork are the preferred meats usually used. If you're looking for an alternative for your burgers, you can't do better than use lamb. The prepared burgers are so tender and sucuulent, you may actually never consider using beef or pork again. Chopping potatoes in to wedges Ingredients 2 or 3 medium floury/starchy potatoes 1/2 pound minced/ground lamb Salt and pepper 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary Vegetable oil for frying 2 soft bread rolls 1 tablespoon (approximately) mint sauce Potato wedges are steeped in cold water Directions The potato wedges are prepared in three stages. Begin by halving each potato and chopping it in to wedges. Note that...

Recipes Haggis and Scottish Root Vegetable Stew Info

A Tasty if Unusual Accompaniment to Haggis Haggis with Scottish root vegetable stew Haggis is of course most commonly served simply with tatties (potatoes) and neeps (Swede turnip/rutabaga). The tatties and neeps may be served relatively plain or they may combined to form clapshot, where they are mashed together with chives, butter and white pepper. As experimenting with food in so many different ways is one of my greatest passions in life, I decided on this particular occasion to serve the haggis not only with tatties and neeps but with a few other popular Scottish root vegetables in the form of a hearty vegetable stew. Individual portion haggis The quantity of vegetable stew I have prepared here will make for two large portions or up to four medium portions. The amount of haggis you therefore prepare should be adjusted accordingly. Ingredients (2 Generous Portions) 2 individual haggis servings 1 small Swede turnip/rutabaga 2 medium to large carrots (or equivalent size combination) 8 ...
