Prawn cakes with coriander sambal

Prawn cakes with coriander sambal
A starter or nibble inspired by South Africa, with a hint of inspiration from India. It's low fat too
Ingredients



Ingredients

  • 3 slices white bread , halved
  • 2 shallots , halved
  • 1 garlic clove , crushed
  • 400g raw peeled prawns 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

  • Method
      1. 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.
      2. Wash the food processor, then blitz all the sambal ingredients together to make a bright green, wet paste. Season and chill.
      3. 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.
