Ingredients

2 whole mackerel cutlets (bone in centre)
3 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced
½ a long green chilli, sliced
2 cups good quality Sicilian green olives, pitted
150mL extra virgin olive oil
60mL (1/3 cup) good quality sherry vinegar

Place the garlic in a small pot with the chilli. Cover with the oil (reserving 1 tbsp) and gently warm over a very low heat for 10 minutes.

Puree the olives with the garlic and oil in food processor. Add vinegar, anchovies, parsley, shallot and a good amount of cracked pepper.

Heat remaining oil over a medium to high heat in a large frying pan or brush oil on a grill pan. Gently lower the fish into the oil and cook for two minutes on each side or until golden. Once cooked, drain the fish on the paper towel.
