Step-by-step
- Slice the tortilla wrap into long, thin strips about 5mm wide.
- Mash the mackerel and shape into 4 ‘mummies’. Gently wrap the tortilla strips around each mummy, folding the ends underneath and leaving space for the eyes.
- Toast your ‘mummies’ in a hot, dry frying pan for 20 seconds on each side. This will firm them up and give them an authentic aged look.
- Pipe 2 small dollops of mayonnaise onto each ‘mummy’ to make the eyes and top each with a small piece of chive. Serve each on a lettuce leaf.
