Good Friday dinner: mackerel

As Husband is a semi-practising Catholic, even though he's not a fish fan, I remembered to pick up some mackerel and sea bass this week in anticipation of dinner on Good Friday. 

Rib eye steak

A few friends and colleagues have raved about the quality of fresh produce at Aldi and Lidl. While I don't usually shop there, mainly because they don't ever seem to stock most of my regular grocery items, I did pop in Aldi on my way back from the Beacon Hospital last. The Aldi out in Rockbrook is very neatly laid out and well stock. I had a look at their fresh meat section and was pleasantly surprised to find some quality cuts. I picked up a couple of Angus rib eye steaks (which I had never bought or cooked before) and Wicklow lamb rump steaks along with a few other items.

Grilled lamb loin chop

I had some celeriac left over from making the soup a week ago, so I chopped it into rough-shaped chunks, boiled it, and using a hand blender and mixing in some rosemary-infused extra virgin olive oil, made it into a purée.
