INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE MACKEREL STUFFING
FOR THE RHUBARB MERINGUE DES
FOR THE CREME FRAICHE DRESSI
FOR THE STIR-FRIED CABBAGE
1 First prepare and cook the fruit for the dessert. Finely grate the zest
from the orange. Peel and segment the orange over a bowl to catch the
juices.
2 Cut the rhubarb into chunks. Put the rhubarb and orange zest in a pan
with the sugar. Drain the orange juices from the flesh and add to the
rhubarb.
3 Reserve the orange segments for the creme fraiche dressing. Cover and
cook the rhubarb for 7-10 minutes until it is softened.
4 Chop about 1 tbsp parsley. Stir into the breadcrumbs with the lemon and
lime zest and juice with the butter and seasoning. Lay the fish flat with
the skin-side down. Season the flesh, divide the filling between the two
fish and spread it along the bottom half of each fish.
5 Fold the top half of each fish down over the stuffing and push down
gently. Brush with oil and season. Wrap two bacon rashers around each fish
to hold the two halves together.
6 Cook under a preheated medium grill or cook on a griddle pan for 5-10
minutes until the fish is cooked through. The flesh should flake easily
when tested with a knife.
7 For the Creme Fraiche Dressing: Blend the lemon juice into the creme
fraiche. Chop the reserved orange segments, keeping two whole for a
garnish. Stir the chopped segments into the creme fraiche with the black
pepper and chopped coriander.
8 Heat about 1 tbsp olive oil in a wok. Add the cabbage and crushed garlic
and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until soft.
9 Finish the dessert by spooning the cooked rhubarb into 2 x 150ml/ 1/4
pint ramekins. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and whisk in the sugar.
Pipe or swirl this on top of the fruit.
10 Place the desserts under the medium grill and cook for about 30 seconds
until the meringue starts to go golden brown.
11 Garnish the mackerel with the reserved orange segments and coriander,
and serve with the dressing and cabbage.
