I am residing in England for the past 4 years now, and it will be a bit rude if I don't include at least one English recipe in my blog. Pies and pasties, Internationally famous Fish and Chips, The English Breakfast, cuppa tea, clotted cream and cheese and meaty stews and sausages are some of the English trademark. There's something royal about each and every dish. They didn't rule the world, just like that!! ;)
Since I have already started off my blog with a chicken and 2 vegetarian recipes, its high time I provide something for my Fishetarian friends too. I come from a family where, fish is considered to be the ultimate of all the delicacies. My dad has taught me to respect all kinds of sea food or rather I call it the "Seafruit" ;) So, without wasting your time and mine, I thought of an easy English fish recipe for this winter season. Yeah,...Its still chilly out here!!
Ingredients
- 500 gm Boneless Fish (Preferably Cod, Haddock or Salmon)
- 3 Big Potatoes (Boiled and peeled)
- 1 bunch of Spring onions (finely sliced) (you can substitute it with 1 big onion)
- 1 Capsicum (finely chopped)
- 2-3 Green chillies (finely chopped)
- A handful of coriander leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 Egg (slightly beaten)
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- Bread crumbs (for coating)
- Olive oil (or use any other oil to shallow fry)
- Salt to taste
Method
1) Boil the fish in water with a little salt for 10 min and no more. Take the fish out and break it to little chunks with your hand.
2) Mash the boiled potatoes and mix it with the cooked fish. Fold it slowly and make sure the chunks don't fully mash away with the potatoes.
3) Heat a pan with 2 tsp of oil and saute the spring onions and capsicum for 2 min. Add a pinch of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper.
4) Put this into the potato - fish mixture. Also add the green chillies and the coriander leaves. Add the remaining 1/2 tsp pepper and salt accordingly. add the egg too and mix everything together.
5) Make 4 -5 palm sized round patties (like cutlets) and dredge them in the dried bread crumbs. Coat the patties well with the crumbs and shake to remove the excess.
6) Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan and shallow fry the fish cakes. 3 min each side. The heat must be kept in medium. The fish cakes are ready.
WINTER COLESLAW
