- 2 garlic, crushed
- 2 beetroot
- 4 tbsp olive oil, for cooking
- 2 turnips, peeled
- 1 shallots, chopped
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped

3. Cook the turnips in boiling, salted water for 6-8 minutes until just soft.
4. When the beetroots have cooled, peel and set aside.
5. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the shallots for 1 minute. Add the beetroots and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the turnips, parsley and seasoning. Set aside and keep warm.
6. Mix the lemon zest and juice with the chopped rosemary and beat into the butter.
7. Season the mackerel on both sides and cook skin side down in a non-stick frying pan for 2 minutes.
8. Turn the fish over, add the rosemary and lemon butter and cook for a further 2 minutes.
9. Pile the hash on a plate, top with the mackerel fillets and spoon the pan juices over and around. Serve straight away.
