Thai fish cakes

Prep and cooking time: 35mins

Complex carb portions, per serving: 0.25

Freezable

Ingredients

Serves: 4

4 x 145g tins tuna, well drained

2 tbsp Thai green curry paste

2 limes, one zested and one cut into wedges

1 largehandful fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped

1 egg, lightly whisked

60ml coconut cream

2 tbsp cornflour

2 tbsp coconut or extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the tuna, curry paste, lime zest, and coriander. Add the egg and coconut cream. Mix to combine.

  2. Depending on how wet the mixture is, add 2-3 tbsp of cornflour. You’re aiming to be able to make balls of the mixture without too much liquid drawing from them.

  3. Divide the mixture into 12. Line a large plate with baking paper and roll the balls into tight patties approximately 1-2cm thick. If you have time, chill for 20mins.

  4. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan, over medium heat. Fry 6 of the patties for 2-3mins each side, or until golden brown. Adjust the temperature so they cook evenly.

  5. Repeat with the remaining patties and oil.

  6. Serve together with a salad, or separately with the lime wedges and a sprinkle of coriander.
