Ingredients (for 3 people):
- 1 can of abalone mince (drained)
- 1 onion, chopped and fried until translucent
- 2 cloves garlic (adjust to your taste)
- About 3 medium-sized potatoes, boiled until just soft, then roughly mashed (rustic-style)
- A few tablespoons of chopped coriander (we keep ours in the freezer if I don’t have fresh)
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- Salt and pepper (feel free to add other spices like cumin or a hint of garam masala, etc.)
Method:
- Gently mix the ingredients in a bowl.
- Form the mixture into fishcakes using your hands. Dip each fishcake in a bowl of flour, then into a beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. (This part can get a bit messy, but hang in there!)
- Work gently, using a large spoon to help turn the fishcakes and keep their shape.
- Fry the fishcakes in a pan with olive oil or butter until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve with tzatziki sauce (we had some leftover, and it made a great pairing!), tartar sauce, or mayonnaise, and a wedge of lemon. Enjoy with a salad or whatever you prefer!
Optional: Please feel free to post photos of how yours turned out or share any variations that worked for you!
Bon Appétit!
