Fish cakes and (rustic) mushy peas....


I had to rearrange my pantry cupboard and realized that we could start a small feeding scheme with all the food I have there. I saw the tin of tuna and fish cakes came to mind...... I am sure that everyone has a fish cake recipe that they swear by and I will not try and sway you, but this just a  quick  throw-together recipe that I tried.



Fish cakes and (rustic) mushy peas....


Ingredients

3 cooked potatoes, mashed roughly
500gr tinned tuna chunks
zest of a lemon
1 egg
handful of parsley and mint
salt and pepper to taste
chili(optional)

Pulse the machine, but do not over process.
Form small patties and fry in hot skillet.

Cook some frozen peas and mash with a knob of butter.

I stacked my food tonight, but afterwards I thought it looks a bit like a overdressed woman at the Oscars - let me know what you think.....

The mushy peas are so vibrant! As for the fishcake, a combo of seafood is always nice too.

not over dress at all! thanks for your idea and I know what to do to my bag of peas.

Nina's Kitchen (Nina Timm) said...

gattina - I see it is unanimous that you can "dress up" some times. Mushy peas is a Jamie Oliver "favorite.Don't forget to add the mint and knob of butter. Thx for stopping by.

I'm not the world's biggest fishcake fan, but if presented with this dish in a restaurant I would definitely be pleased. Great photos
