Translation

Though based on the work of the Roman fourth-century CE gastronome, Apicius this recipe is actually derived from a description given in a poem by the first-century CE poet, Martial.

Ingredients:

450g fresh mackerel
¼ tsp white peppercorns
1/8 tsp lovage seed or 1 tsp chopped green lovage (or 1 tsp chopped celery greens)
1½ tsp cumin
5 small sprigs green rue
1 tsp chopped onion
one drop of asafoetida
3 tsp clear honey
3 tsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp liquamen
1 tbsp olive oil


Method:

Clean and gut the mackerel if not already done. Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add the fish. Simmer for about 25 minutes or until done.

Meanwhile grind the white pepper, lovage seed and cumin with a pestle and mortar. Add rue and onion and mash to a paste. Add the liquid ingredients and mix well. Use this to dress the boiled fish.
