Mackerel with Rhubarb Chutney

To cook the mackerel, heat the grill to a high temperature, brush with oil on both sides, season well, and pop it onto a tray and under the grill for two minutes.

Heat a frying pan until it is hot and add the sugar. Cook to a caramel, and add the rhubarb, shallots and sultanas. Add the vinegar and cook for two minutes, and season.

To serve, pop the fish on to a plate with a spoonful of chutney.
