I like my Mac n Cheese but am not a true connoisseur
like many of you. This time I wanted to
use up some smoked fish and bacon pieces so a dish was born. The flavours worked well together.
Ingredients:
Oil
Macaroni
Bacon pieces
Smoked fish (ruby fish)
Store bought Mac n Cheese sauce
Cauliflower
Lemon juice
Salt & pepper
Mustard (Dijon)
Breadcrumbs
Butter
Parsley
Method:
Heat up your oven to moderate
Pre-cook the Macaroni (about 10 mins)
Pre-cook the bacon
Flake the smoked fish
Oil your baking dish
Fill it with the pasta, bacon, fish and cauliflower (in
florets)
Mix together the sauce, mustard, lemon juice and pour
it over – mixing it with a spoon.
Cover with a layer of breadcrumbs and then add some
knobs of butter on top.
Bake for about 45 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley to serve.
Carole,
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting twist for mac and cheese. The bacon and the fish really add something special to a simple dish
I, like you, enjoy mac and cheese but it's not one of my "signature dishes." I do order it at restaurants when I see it mixed with shellfish or fish though - that's a delicious combination!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many possibilities with Mac'n Cheese. I like that you added cauliflower.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a go-to mac 'n cheese recipe, but I'm all for adding in whatever's around.
ReplyDeleteI like the Dijon mustard involved here. I love a good mac and cheese and I'll eat any version!
ReplyDeleteI love any smoky element in my mac-n-cheese! ;-)
