Bare Cupboard Cooking

Grabbed some mackerel for dinner but forgot to get any veg. All that's left are a few withered specimens at the bottom of the fridge
Never fear, trusty skillet to the rescue. First, shred everything in the processor.
since the processor is in use, shred the carrots along with these chaps that were hiding at the back
(shallots by the way) and a bit of the chilli, et voila, coleslaw
Hmm, looks like I found some white cabbage as well, this is turning into a bit of a stone soup.
Back to the rosti/latke, first of all decant into the every handy muslim and squeeze the beejaz out of it while the skillet is heating up.  Less water = less cooking and more caramelisation.

Pop into the skillet, and do the invert and slide trick

then quickly fry the mackerel as the other side is cooking.
and there we have a full meal from a not actually bare cupboard after all.
