Mackerel over Saffron rice/bacon/onion and tomato
This was really my sons’ idea. I was hesitant to cut the fish up in chunks but it worked really well. The bacon, onion and tomato added to the yellow rice was very tasty.
4 Medium Mackerel Filleted and skinned cut in 1 inch pieces
1package Carolina Saffron rice (see picture and instructions)
½ lb Bacon cut/chopped in ½ in pieces
1 Medium Yellow onion, Chopped
1 Medium tomato seeds removed and chopped
Cook rice Stove
Bring 1-2/3 cups water and 1 tablespoon margarine to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice mix. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Fluff lightly with fork and serve.
Cook rice Microwave
In a 1-1/2 quart microwave safe dish, combine 1-2/3 cups hot water, 1 tablespoon margarine*, and rice mix. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes. Reduce setting to 50% power and microwave for 17 minutes. Fluffy lightly with fork and serve. If your microwave does not have variable power settings, follow your manufacturer's directions
Set rice aside
In a medium non-stick sauce pan cook/ brown bacon.
Remove from pan leaving a little bacon fat in pan
Add onions and cook till translucent and slightly brown add tomatoes for 1 minute
Mix onions, bacon, and tomatoes with Saffron rice. Set aside.
Coat mackerel with instant four salt, pepper and paprika
Heat same pan/med high heat and cook fish stirring about 2-3 minutes
Place heated rice on platter and top with fish.
Enjoy,
Leif
