Kippered Mackerel, Beetroot & Horseradish Mayo

When I saw the pack of reduced-price fish I assumed - wrongly, it turned out - that it was just smoked mackerel by another name. It wasn't until I took my first bite that I discovered the fish was smoked, but not enough to have cooked it through - just like kippered herrings, in fact. My mistake was rectified by nuking for two minutes in a closed casserole dish.

To accompany, I had the last of some funny little potatoes Hannah unearthed at the Rice Lane Urban Farm, and I made a dressing of finely-chopped beetroot mixed with equal parts of mayonnaise and horseradish cream. Cucumber & mint in yoghurt and a French-style salad completed my very late Sunday breakfast.
