AN NAM MACKEREL IN BLACK PEPPER SAUCE WITH CRISPY BAGUETTE
🌟 Ingredients
- 1 can of An Nam Mackerel In Black Pepper Sauce
- 1 baguette (or Vietnamese-style crusty bread roll)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh cilantro, chopped scallions (optional)
- Ground black pepper, dried chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Make the garlic butter: Mix the softened butter with minced garlic and a pinch of pepper or chili flakes if desired. Slice the baguette diagonally into ~1.5 cm thick pieces, then spread the garlic butter evenly on top.
- Toast the bread: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy. If you don’t have an oven, you can toast the bread slices in a non-stick pan over medium heat, turning to brown both sides.
- Prepare the fish: Open the can of An Nam Mackerel In Black Pepper Sauce. Warm it up in the microwave or a small pan. Sprinkle with some chopped scallions or cilantro to enhance the aroma if you like.
- To serve: Arrange the garlic butter toast on a plate. Drizzle a bit of the black pepper sauce over the bread. Top each slice with a piece of mackerel and enjoy immediately while it’s hot and crispy.
💡 Tips
- Add a simple vinaigrette salad, a few slices of cucumber or cherry tomatoes for a fresh appetizer platter.
- For a richer version, top with grated cheese or slices of boiled egg.
