This Spicy Tomato Mackerel With Rice is a quick and easy lunch or dinner for two made Princes Mackerel Fillets (Sponsored Post)
As parents we often spend most of our time planning and cooking food for our children, but not so much for ourselves. It’s all too easy to rush through the day, busy with work or running the house and find that you have skipped lunch or dinner for yourself.
But I’ve teamed up with Princes to show you how easy it is to make a tasty, quick and nutritious meal for yourself either for lunch or dinner.
Using their tinned Mackerel Fillets you can whip for a meal for two in just minutes. All the Mackerel Fillets are skinless and boneless and come in a variety of flavours to suit all taste buds.
For this recipe I used Princes Mackerel Fillets in a Spicy Tomato Sauce. Teamed with a packet of rice from the store cupboard and just a couple of veggies you can create a delicious lunch or evening meal with little preparation and minimal washing up!
Nutritionally it also makes a really balanced meal and counts as one of your two portions of Omega-3 rich oily fish a week.
This whole dish took less than 5 minutes to prepare and cook and made a really affordable meal that I’ll definitely be whipping up again very soon.

Hiya,
I’d really like to give this recipe a try but want to use up the mackerel I’ve got at home first as got about 12 tins stashed in the cupboard already!
In your opinion, what do you think would be best to use to create the spicy tomato? – All I currently have is tinned mackerel in olive oil and in sunflower oil so advice would be muchly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance x

Try mixing some passata or tinned tomatoes with a hot sauce!
Charlotte says
Do you, or can you heat the mackeral?
Ciara Attwell says
You can but I think it tastes just as delicious straight from the can!
