I am very excited to be collaborating with Princes on a couple of recipes which we are starting with the recreation of this Moroccan mackerel rice dish which, which they feature on their site.
Now I know that some people have forgotten about tinned fish however you shouldn’t! It is an amazing source of omega 3 fatty acids which helps contribute to a healthy heart. It is recommended that you should try and have 2 portions of oily fish a week to feel the real benefits from this.
Another great benefit for tinned fish, it is packed full of amazing flavours and Princes have brought a new dimension to it with delicious flavour combinations such as this Moroccan-style mackerel.
This dish tastes amazing yet is cooked in less than 10 minutes! Princess have kindly created this video for you to follow the recipe step by step.
