Mackerel for Lent

Jamaica Observer

The Lenten season is upon us! A time when individuals practise various forms of abstinence by ‘giving up’ something for a period of 40 days commencing yesterday [Ash Wednesday], February 22- Thursday, April 26. Locally, the most popularly honoured withdrawal is from meat consumption. This sees many, utilising fish as their primary protein for the period. The Delect Brand in collaboration with Chef Lisa Brady-Gabay of Select Deli in Select Grocers Manor Park has prepared two family-friendly dishes — Mackerel Slaw Sliders and Mackerel N’ Penne Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce — using a staple household product and Jamaican favourite: Mackerel! These meals will help you make the period meaningful, flavourful and fulfilling! Spice up the season with these two quick and simple recipes using Delect Mackerel, which meet your needs in the absence of meat, and is guaranteed to elevate your palate for a meal the entire family can enjoy!
