Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 slices white bread , halved
2 shallots , halved
1 garlic clove , crushed
400g raw peeled prawn or skinned unsmoked haddock
generous grating fresh nutmeg
1 large egg
2 tbsp sunflower oil , for frying
1 green pepper , deseeded
1 green chilli , deseeded
slice fresh root ginger
2 garlic cloves
2 x 20g packs coriander
1 tsp caster sugar
2 tsp white malt vinegar
juice 1 small lemon

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients for the fishcakes, except the oil, in a food processor with seasoning and blitz until really well blended. Shape into 12-18 round patties, then chill for up to 1 day until ready to serve.
  • Wash the food processor, then blitz all the sambal ingredients together to make a bright green, wet paste. Season and chill.
  • When ready to serve, fry the fishcakes in the oil for a few mins on each side until golden - they will be firm, like Thai fishcakes rather than those made with potato. Pile onto a platter with a bowl of the sambal to serve with drinks, or plate up and serve as a starter.
