Method
- Wash the mackerels in cold water and dry on kitchen paper. Open out and lay flat on a chopping board with the skin side down. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4).
- To prepare the stuffing, mix the ricotta, breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, chives, capers and garlic in a large bowl to create a smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the mixture between half of the flattened mackerels, spread and cover with another mackerel, sandwich-fashion. Once they are ready, place on an oiled baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil and cook in the oven for about 20 mins.
- Serve the mackerels immediately on a bed of sliced tomatoes dressed with extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.
