Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Wash the thawed mackerel, cut off the head and tail, cut the belly, take out the insides and rinse the inside well so that there is no black film that gives bitterness. Then we cut it lengthwise and remove the backbone and all the bones.

   Cut the mackerel fillet into small pieces.

   We disassemble the cauliflower into inflorescences and boil for five minutes in salted water, remove and place in a colander to drain the water, cool.
