METHOD

  1. PATTIES:
  2. Boil the sweet potatoes in water until just falling apart. Drain and mash until smooth.
  3. Debone pilchards and flake.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together flaked pilchard, mashed sweet potatoes, onion, a tablespoon or two of sauce from the tin, freshly chopped parsley and the breadcrumbs.

  11. TO ASSEMBLE:
  12. Slice buns in half and lightly toast them in the hot pan.
  13. Remove and spread a generous amount of mayonnaise inside each half.
  14. Pile some fresh rocket, your pilchard patty and cucumber ribbons on top of each other, finish with a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce and enjoy!
