Cooking Instructions

  1. Flake the smoked fish making sure you remove all the bones and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a wide non-stick pan and sauté the onions until they just start going soft (about 3 minutes). Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally. In order to speed up the cooking of the potatoes, place a large lid over the pan so that they steam. Add a splash of water if the mix is starting to stick to the pan.
  3. When the potatoes are almost cooked add the fish and parsley, and if necessary place the lid on for a few more minutes to finish off cooking the potatoes.
  4. Serve with steamed rice, a few good grinds of black pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
