Zingy Fishcakes

  • 1

Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 400 g Halibut ( or other white fish )
  • 2 large eggs
  • Thumb sized piece of fresh ginger.
  • A handful of the green part ofspring onion leaves.
  • 4 bird's eye chillies ( I like food spicy, less if you like mild )
  • 2 tbsp of fresh oregano leaves ( I read that these are great for candida )
  • 1 lime.
  • Butter for frying.
  • Salt and pepper. ( to your taste )

Preparation

Step 1

Method:
1.Blend the ginger, chillies ( I include the seeds ) spring onion greens, salt, pepper and the grated zest of one lime until it forms a smooth paste.If you find the mixture too thick to blend add a little olive oil to loosen.
2.Add both the eggs and the fish ( with out skin ) to the blender and blend again until all the ingredients are well combined.
3.Heat a frying pan and add the butter to it.
4.Use a table spoon to make quinelles ( pretty oval spoon shapes ) of the mix and put it into the pan, flatten the shapes with the back of the spoon as you go. This is easier than trying to make patties with your hands as without carbohydrates the mixture is looser than a fish cake mix would usually be.
5. After a few minutes on a medium heat when golden brown on the first side down, turn and cook for the same on the other side.
6.When cooked through, serve, I added my home made spicy ketchup but I think that a homemade mayo with fresh lime and coriander would also be fantastic.
