Steps

  • Marinade mackerel halves in orange zest, juice, onion, vinegar, salt, wine, peppercorns, and bay leaves for one hour.
  • Boil or bake sweet potatoes and potatoes in skins until tender at 180°C.
  • Remove skins and pass the flesh through a potato ricer.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then gradually mix in the egg and flour to create a sticky dough.
  • Divide dough into eight, roll into 1cm thick cylinders, and cut into 2cm sections.
  • Roll pieces over fork prongs, compress slightly, and set aside on a floured tray for a few hours.
  • Combine the salad ingredients in a bowl and toss well.
  • Boil the vegetable stock in a large pan and add the gnocchi.
  • Brown the butter in a pan, add samphire, a ladle of stock, olive oil, and sage.
  • Drain gnocchi once they float, toss in the butter sauce, and top with parmesan.
  • Fry prosciutto in a non-stick pan until crisp and set aside.
  • Fry mackerel fillets in the same pan for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Serve gnocchi with salad, mackerel, and crispy ham.
