White cabbage coleslaw doesn’t sound special, but once you add mustard, lime zest and juice to the creamy dressing it makes a wonderful accompaniment to smoked fish. This is designed to be a low cost recipe.
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
-
Place the potato wedges, olive oil, dried herbs, bashed garlic and a decent pinch of salt and pepper into a mixing bowl. Mix well with your hands to coat the potatoes in the herby oil. Tip into a large roasting tray, ideally in a single layer and place into the preheated oven. Roast for 35-45 minutes, turning now and again until evenly golden-brown, crisp on the outside and cooked through inside.
-
Meanwhile, mix together the yoghurt, lime zest, lime juice, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Add the shredded cabbage, mixing well so that everything is coated.
-
Just before serving sprinkle in the smoked mackerel, fold once to roughly mix and serve with the hot potato wedges.
