  • 12 Cocktail tomatoes, roasted
  • 1 Red or yellow pepper, roasted

  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) Store-bought tzatziki

METHOD

  1. For the tuna fishcakes:
  2. Add the potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Allow to boil, covered, for 25 minutes, or until soft.
  3. Drain the water and mash using a fork.
  4. Add the tuna, 1 egg, parsley and 3 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Divide mixture and mould into 4 large fishcakes. Place the tray in the freezer for 5-10 minutes for the patties to firm up.
  6. Once firm, dip the fishcakes in the remaining breadcrumbs, 2 eggs, beaten, then again in breadcrumbs, and place back onto the tray. *Chef’s Tip: It is best to freeze for 30 minutes until firm to ensure they don’t fall apart during cooking.
  7. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium-low heat and fry the fishcakes for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until a golden crust has formed.
  8. For the fishcakes with a green salad:
  9. Serve a crispy tuna fishcake alongside an aioli dip and a fresh, dressed green salad with a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh dill.
  10. For the fishcake pitas:
  11. Toast the pitas, whole, in the toaster. Halve each pita.
  12. Fill each of the 8 pita pockets with roasted vegetables, a dollop of tzatziki, fresh rocket, 2 quarters of a tuna fishcake and finish off with crumbled feta. Serve two halves for each person and ENJOY!
  13. Fishcake Salad:
  14. Serve a crispy tuna fishcake alongside an aioli dip and a fresh, dressed green salad with a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh dill.
