Fish Cakes
Ingredients:
3 medium potatoes
1 spring onion
1 large tin or 2 small tins of tuna (in spring water)
1 egg
2 pieces of bread
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Method:
- Peel and chop the potatoes. Add to a saucepan of water and bring to the boil. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
- Meanwhile, wash and slice the spring onion, beat the egg in a bowl and toast the bread. Once the bread has cooled, grate it (or place in a freezer bag and bash it with a rolling pin) to create breadcrumbs. Place the breadcrumbs on a small plate
- When the potatoes are cooked, drain and mash them, with a masher or fork, until smooth
- Place the mashed potato in a bowl and add the spring onion, tuna and ½ the beaten egg. Mix together well
- Shape the mixture into 4 patties, using your hands
- Dip each fishcake patty in the remaining ½ of the beaten egg, then coat with the breadcrumbs
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, over a medium heat
- Cook the fishcakes for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden. These can be cooked 2 at a time
- Repeat with the remaining fishcakes
- Serve with some steamed vegetables
* You can add frozen peas, sweetcorn or carrots for extra flavour and crunch.
* Any leftover fishcakes can be kept in the fridge to eat for up to 2 days later. Alternatively, they can be placed in freezer bags and stored in the freezer for up to 3 month.
* Swap the tuna with chickpeas for a meat-free version of the recipe. The chickpeas can be whole or mashed
* You could also swap the tuna with tinned salmon (in spring water), for a different taste
