Preparation
0/5 steps complete
Prepare the base: wild rice. Warm or sear mackerel flakes until the edges look browned and appetizing.
Cook or prep roasted beets separately so the side keeps its texture.
Spoon chimichurri onto mackerel flakes at the end, using just enough to season the main bite without soaking the grains or vegetables.
Let hot food cool for a few minutes, then arrange the main, the side, and the fresh or crunchy pieces in separate groups so every bite keeps its texture.
Set aside orange segments, chimichurri, almonds before reheating. Warm only the cooked components, uncovered, for 45 to 75 seconds.
