Oh hi there, tomatoes! What a surprise to see you featuring in a Daily Yum meal. Welcome. What are we eating with you today? Mackerel, you say? Yummy. And fresh corn on the cob? Awesome.
Fresh Tomato Salsa
Chop a good handful of cherry tomatoes into a bowl. Add one small chili, as finely chopped as you can manage. Add the juice of half a lime, and salt-and-pepper generously. Serve.
Mackerel is the perfect fish to serve with this, because its flavour is robust enough to stand up to the zingy freshness of the salsa. We simply topped it with a smidgen of olive oil and some sliced garlic, then whacked it under the grill for 10-15 minutes. The corn took the longest to prepare - we wrapped each cob in some brown paper that had been coated with olive oil, pepper and smoked paprika inside, and then roasted them in a low oven for about 40 minutes.
I know this meal sounds ridiculously healthy and virtuous (where are the CARBS? I know), but you didn't see the size of the double-choc-chip cookies we had consumed that afternoon. I'm pretty sure there were enough calories in those bad boys to fuel us for a week.
