Andalusian Seared Mackerel Breakfast Pintxo with Tomato Sofrito and Sherry Vinegar
A Sevillian-cafe morning pintxo — a small fillet of fresh mackerel quickly seared and rested over a slow Andalusian tomato sofrito on toasted GF country bread, finished with sherry vinegar, parsley and a pinch of pimentón de la Vera. Mackerel is among the densest natural sources of B12 — a single small fillet at breakfast covers several days' worth of the daily target.
