Peppered Mackerel & New Potato Salad

 
 

 
 
1 x pack Smoked Peppered Mackerel
1 x New Potatoes
1 x bag Bistro salad/Baby Leaf/Rocket & Watercress
1 x Cucumber
1 x pack Vine Ripened baby tomatoes
1 x bunch Spring Onions
1 x Lemon
Glug Olive Oil
Sea Salt

Chop the new potatoes in half and boil in the pan to the point where they are falling apart.
Meanwhile prepare your salad ingredients. Start by placing the salad leaves you've chosen in a bowl, followed by the bunch of spring onions prepared julienne style. Halve the tomatoes and finely slice the cucumber.
finally skin the mackerel fillets and break up and throw everything into the salad.
Add the glug of olive oil, squeeze in the juice of a lemon and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
 
Drain the potatoes and add them piping hot to the salad. The heat will warm the fish and it'll taste amazing.
Serve immediately!

Our mural has been completed finally!

 
 
 



During  time together in a weekly 3 hour time slot for 1:1 support, a lady I've been supporting and I have been working together over the last 6 months on this mural. It was a piece of artwork originally created by Clemens Hasengshwandter, an artist who primarily paints the landscape of the beautiful Maltese Islands.
We took our time over it gridding out the image, however once it was finished, we just couldn't help (with the aid of other artists at The Helm), collaging in birds, fish, wrecks, mermaids.
 It brightened up a very dull wall in the art room. We're very proud to finally finish it. It brightens everyone's day and will definitely perk up the centre in the depths of winter.
