justalurkrMy search for Things To Do With Mackerel unearthed this recipe for African Cabbage Stew. Either tonight or tomorrow afternoon (depending upon energy level) I plan to take a crack at it. I'm substituting a small can of tomato sauce for the fish in tomato sauce as my grocer only sells mackerel in water. Other than massive chopping, seems pretty straightforward.
edited to add: 'Tis indeed a stew, very thick in the pot. I used a 5.5 quart dutch oven to boil the cabbage and a 3.25 or .5, not sure, saucepan to cook the rest and combine at the end. The saucepan is stuffed with stew. Am currently cooking up some quinoa to serve as the starch called for at the top of the recipe. A little North Africa, a little Peru. I love a global society!
edited one last time to add: Yep, that's my new go-to Things To Do With Mackerel recipe. Three Weight Watchers points for a cup of stew over four Weight Watchers points for 1/2 cup of red quinoa. The cracked red pepper just makes the flavor.
