METHOD

  1. Fishcakes:
  2. Add the potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Allow to boil, covered, for 25 minutes, or until soft.
  3. Drain the tuna’s water and mash using a fork.
  4. Add the tuna, 1 egg, parsley and 3 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs and mix well.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide mixture and mould into 4 large fishcakes.
  6. Place the tray in the freezer for 5 - 10 minutes for the patties to firm up.
  7. Once firm, dip the fishcakes in the remaining breadcrumbs, 2 beaten eggs, then again in breadcrumbs, and place back onto the tray.
  8. *Chef’s Tip: Put in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  9. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium-low heat and fry the fishcakes for 3 - 5 minutes on each side, or until a golden crust has formed.
  10. Fishcake Burgers:
  11. Spread each bun with sweet chilli mayonnaise, top with a tuna fishcake, slaw, avocado slices and fresh coriander.
  12. Serve the tuna fishcake burgers with potato wedges and extra sweet chilli mayonnaise on the side.
  13. Fishcake Pitas:
  14. Toast the pitas, whole, in the toaster.
  15. Halve each pita. Fill each of the 8 pita pockets with roasted vegetables, a dollop of tzatziki, fresh rocket, 2 quarters of a tuna fishcake and finish off with crumbled feta.
  16. Serve two halves for each person and enjoy!
  17. Fishcake Salad:
  18. Serve a crispy tuna fishcake alongside an aioli dip and a fresh, dressed green salad with a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh dill.
