Servings: 4
  • 2 ready-to-cook mackerel (approx. à 650 g)
  • 1 untreated lemon
  • 1 potty Thyme
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp black pepper
  • 500 g Leeks (leek)

  • 300 g Mushrooms
  • 30 g dried tomatoes
  • 20 g Butter or margarine
  • 7-10 Tbsp parchment paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the mackerel and dab dry. Wash the lemon and cut half into slices. Squeeze the rest of the lemon. Wash thyme, dab dry and scrape the leaves off the stalks. Sprinkle 3/4 of the thyme, some salt and pepper into the abdominal cavities of the mackerel and push the lemon slices into it. Clean, wash and cut the leek into wide strips. Core and halve the olives. Clean and wash the mushrooms and also cut them in half. Cut tomatoes into strips. Heat the fat in a frying pan and fry the mushrooms briefly while turning. Add leek and braise covered for 4-5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and remaining thyme. Add olives and tomatoes. Spread the vegetables on 2 large sheets of parchment paper and place a mackerel on each. Sprinkle mackerel with lemon juice and wrap loosely into packages. Place the parcels in an ovenproof dish and bake in a preheated oven (electric: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 40 minutes. Light farmhouse bread tastes good with it
