Time 15m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound mackerel steaks
1 onion, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
3 whole cloves
1 medium clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup wine vinegar
Strips of sweet red pepper

Steps:

  • Place mackerel in pan (not an aluminum pan, since the aluminum may interact with the vinegar and discolor the sauce). Add all remaining ingredients except for red pepper strips. Cover pan and bring to simmer. Simmer about 10 minutes for one-inch-thick steaks, less if steaks are thinner. Remove from heat and chill overnight to give fish flavor.
  • Fish may be served with or without the jelly that forms. It should be decorated with the onion and lemon slices and strips of red pepper. It will keep several days.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish turned out terrible. The mackerel was dry and tasteless, and the marinade was bitter. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a disaster. The mackerel was overcooked, and the marinade was too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The mackerel was cooked well, but the marinade didn't add much flavor. I would try this recipe again, but I would add more spices to the marinade.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The mackerel was cooked perfectly, and the marinade added a nice flavor. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would use less chili pepper.
