Mackerel plachie in the multicooker

Mackerel plachie in the multicooker starts by browning the firm-fleshed mackerel, then letting it simmer in a tomato and wine sauce. The onion and peppers soften in the same pot, and the sauce stays rich while the pieces of fish hold together. I check the thickness of the pieces first, since mackerel breaks easily when turned. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 40 minutes. Total time: 60 minutes. Serves: 3. About 600 kcal and 25 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 2 whole mackerel (approx. 600 g)
- 4 tablespoons oil
- 1 medium white onion (150 g)
- 1 medium kapia pepper (150 g)
- 1/2 hot pepper (5 g)
- 400 g whole canned tomatoes
- 100 ml water
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 100 ml white wine
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 garlic cloves (10 g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 spring onions (30 g)
Preparation
1. Remove the heads, tails, guts and black lining from the mackerel. Pat dry with paper towels and cut each fish into 3 pieces. Clean the vegetables and cut them into suitable slices. 2. Pour the oil into the multicooker bowl and set it to FRY for 15 minutes. Once the oil is slightly hot, arrange the fish pieces in the bowl and put the lid on. After 8-9 minutes, turn them over, then continue frying without the lid until lightly browned. 3. Transfer the fish to a plate. Add the onion and peppers to the same oil and set to FRY for 5 minutes, until softened. 4. Add the water, sweet paprika, whole canned tomatoes and mackerel pieces. Cut up the tomatoes with the spatula in the bowl, set to STEW for 20 minutes and let the sauce simmer gently. 5. 10 minutes before the program ends, add the wine, bay leaf and crushed garlic. Season with salt and pepper. At the end, unplug the appliance and sprinkle with finely chopped spring onion before serving.
Notes
I serve it with hot polenta; the sauce is a little like an onion stew, with the pieces of fish left whole. Cool any leftovers and keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for no more than 3 days. Mackerel with clear eyes and a mild smell is preferable. Choose two fish of similar weight so the pieces are about the same thickness. Fish weighing more than 300 g each may have thicker pieces and need a little longer to brown. The wine is added during cooking; for an alcohol-free version, replace it with 100 ml fish stock. You can use 150 g red bell pepper instead of kapia pepper, and leave out the hot pepper. The dish contains fish, one of the major allergens.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned?
Yes. Add 350 g well-ripened tomatoes, peeled and cut into pieces.
Can I use frozen mackerel?
Thaw it in the fridge for 8-12 hours and pat it dry well before putting it in the bowl.
What should I do if the sauce turns out too thick?
Add 30 ml hot water and stir gently, without breaking up the fish pieces.
