Upute za pripremu
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). On a baking tray, combine the chopped carrots, parsnip, and red onion wedges. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
- 2.Roast the vegetables for 20 minutes, or until they start to become tender and caramelize at the edges.
- 3.While the vegetables are roasting, place the rinsed Puy lentils in a small saucepan with 500ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain any excess water.
- 4.After 20 minutes of roasting, remove the tray from the oven. Make space for the mackerel fillets, placing them skin-side up amongst the vegetables. Season the fish with a little salt and pepper.
- 5.Return the tray to the oven and roast for another 10-12 minutes, or until the mackerel is cooked through and the skin is crisp. The fish will flake easily when done.
- 6.To serve, spoon the cooked lentils onto two plates. Top with the roasted vegetables and a mackerel fillet. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
