4 slices of dry cured bacon
Handful of rocket
50ml rapeseed oil
2 fresh tomatoes

METHOD
Cook the potatoes until soft but they hold their shape. Drain and keep warm.

Add the chopped tarragon or parsley. Set aside.
Grill the bacon until crispy, cut into strips.
Peel the soft boiled eggs and cut into quarters.
Cut the tomatoes into quarters.
Peel the skin from the mackerel and brake into flakes.
Assemble by adding a tablespoon of the dressing into the rocket and arrange in a bowl followed by the mackerel, tomatoes, warm potatoes, bacon and eggs.
