Ingredients
- Olive oil for frying and drizzling
- 1 onion
- Pinch chilli flakes
- 200g broccoli florets
- 400g tin chickpeas
- Handful spinach leaves
- 1 tsp harissa paste
- 100g thick natural yogurt
- 4 smoked mackerel fillets
- Fresh coriander leaves
- Toasted flatbreads (optional), to serve
Method
- Heat a little olive oil in a small pan. Finely slice the onion, then fry with the chilli flakes for 10 minutes or until softened. Season well.
- Meanwhile, bring a medium pan of salted water to the boil. Blanch the broccoli until tender, then drain and set aside.
