1. Fry the leeks in the butter until very soft, about 10-15 mins. Meanwhile, boil the pasta and heat the grill. When the leeks are soft, stir in the crème fraîche, capers and fish. Heat through for 1 min. Drain the pasta and stir into the sauce, season to taste, then tip everything into a small baking dish. Scatter with the crumbs and grill until golden and crisp.

Mackerel & leek risotto

Soften the leeks, stir in 140g risotto rice, then 100ml white wine. Once evaporated, add 500ml vegetable stock. Gently cook, uncovered, for about 15 mins, stirring every so often. Once the rice is just tender, fold through 100ml crème fraîche and mackerel. Serve with a squeeze lemon.

  Very quick and easy to make. Tastes much nicer than it sounds.

  Really enjoyed this, only down side is it didn't look that appitising as it is such a pale dish. Ignoring that the flavours were lovely. I used peppered mackerel fillits as I love pepper. Me and my boyfriend both had second helpings and I have got the left overs for lunch. I will be making this again.

  Really tasty (as mentioned above, ignore the somewhat beige colour!) - not sure about the breadcrumbs though, think the pasta could have gone nice and crisp on top without them, and they don't add to the taste.
