The rich, bold flavor of mackerel is a wonderful partner to pasta's toothsome canvas.
Ingredients
- 1/4 c. golden raisins
- 2 tbsp. hot water
- 3/4 lb. spaghetti
- 7 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. mackerel fillets
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 small onion
- 1/4 c. pine nuts
- 1/4 c. Chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Put the raisins and the hot water in a small bowl and leave until the water is absorbed. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain the spaghetti.
- Meanwhile, in a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat. Sprinkle the mackerel with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Cook the fish until just done, 2 to 3 minutes per side for 1/2-inch thick fillets. Remove the fish and then wipe out the pan. When the fish is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and flake the fish.
- In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the raisins, mackerel, the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Toss the mixture with the spaghetti, the remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil and the dill.
- Variation: Spaghetti with Sardines and Pine Nuts In place of the mackerel, add two 3 1/2-ounce cans of boneless, skinless sardine fillets, drained, to the pan for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Break the fillets into flakes with a spoon.
- Wine Recommendation: The full-force flavors of this dish-from the sweet raisins and strong mackerel to the dill-need to be paired with a full-flavored, acidic white wine. Try a sauvignon blanc from northern Italy or New Zealand.
