My tamarind greens with Mackerel exclusive recipe from 'Eat Happy' is one of my favourites. Tamarind is what makes the sauce for Asian dishes like Pad Thai (p. 136 in 'Eat Happy') taste so good, and this dish is inspired by my Filipino Mum who loves tamarind and always fed it to me as a child....

This makes a great packed lunch, just take the dressing with you in a jar and toss at the last minute. If you can’t find smoked mackerel, any fish works well here, I also love hot smoked trout and salmon or swap in some cooked shredded chicken. I’ve used cooked beetroot here but you can easily buy raw and cook...
