Mackerel Patties Video Tutorial
I am using Canned Mackerel in Brine in this recipe. It could be found in many large grocery stores, such as WalMart, in canned seafood section, right next to anchovies and sardines. Of course, you can buy canned Mackerel on Amazon. There are several brands out there (such as Bumble Bee, Polar, Chicken of the Sea) and they all work well.
How To Make Canned Mackerel Pasta
Bring a pot of water to a boil (for the pasta) before beginning to prepare this recipe for canned mackerel. Chop the parsley, tomatoes, bell peppers, olives, and garlic cloves while the water is boiling.
When the water is boiling, add the spaghetti, and cook it as directed on the package.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the canned mackerel to the pan along with the accompanying olive oil. If mackerel packed in olive oil isn’t available, just substitute some of your own olive oil here.
Sauté the chopped bell peppers, tomatoes, and olives in the pan with the minced garlic. Cook the vegetables for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are tender.
Once the pasta is cooked, remove from heat and drain. Pasta should be added to the pan and cooked for about a minute with the vegetables and mackerel. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
If desired, top the pasta made from canned mackerel with freshly grated parmesan, red pepper flakes, and/or lemon juice. Adjust salt and pepper as needed. Enjoy hot!.
The leftovers from this recipe for canned mackerel can be stored in the refrigerator for 3–4 days in an airtight container. Both the microwave and the stovetop are effective ways to reheat the food.
Be aware that this recipe is easily adaptable to suit various dietary requirements.
Simply substitute gluten-free spaghetti for regular spaghetti if you cannot consume gluten.
If you’re a dairy-free person, omit the parmesan cheese and replace it with nutritional yeast (or just eat it on its own).
In addition to being tasty, inexpensive, and handy, canned mackerel is also incredibly nutrient-dense.
Mackerel is a heart-healthy oily fish that is abundant in omega-3 fatty acids. In actuality, mackerel has among the highest levels of omega-3 of any fish.
Omega-3s are essential for cardiovascular and neurological health and also aid in reducing body-wide inflammation.
Additionally, mackerel is a fantastic source of complete protein and numerous micronutrients, such as selenium, iron, magnesium, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6.
