Thai Style Fishcakes

Thai Style Fishcakes recipe, eat well on universal credit

I happened across a whole Coley at half price yesterday. We understand it’s a member of the Cod family? Well this one isn’t now! My knife skills are biased towards Butchery rather than Fish Mongering, so this was an interesting gig. Between us we skinned, filleted and ‘Pin Boned’ the flesh. Even the unban Foxes would have turned their noises up at the bits and bobs we had left so it went in the bin (Outside bin that is!)

Ingredients:-

1 Coley, filleted, skinned and Pin Boned
1 Thumb of Ginger, grated
The Juice of a Lime
½ a Tsp of dried Coriander
A drizzle of Olive Oil
5 medium Potatoes, pealed, boiled and mashed
2 Tsp of Hot Chilli Jam
1 Tsp of Thai Basil
1 Tbsp of Capers, finely chopped
1 Tbsp of Cashew Nut Powder (Just wuzz them in a blender)
50g of Cornflour
200g of Breadcrumbs (Gluten free bread wuzzed for us)
1 Tsp of Turmeric
1 Tsp of Paprika
2 Eggs, beaten
Salt & Pepper to season at various stages

Method:-

(1) Line a large dish with kitchen foil.
(2) Dress the fillets with the Ginger, Lime juice, Coriander and season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Drizzle over the Olive Oil and wrap the foil around the filleted Fish and fold to seal.
(4) Cook in a pre-heated oven of 180c for 10 to 12 minutes until the Fish is cooked through.
(5) Allow to cool then flake to Fish into a bowl. Make sure you remove any remaining small bones.
(6) Mash the Potatoes and allow to cool.
(7) Add the flaked Fish to the mashed Potatoes and stir in.
(8) Add the Chilli Jam, Thai Basil, Capers, Powdered Cashew Nuts, and season with a little Salt & Pepper.
(9) Combine well.
(10) Divide into portions and roll into a ball.
(11) Flatten the balls and form into thick Fishcakes.
(12) Mix the Turmeric and Paprika with your Breadcrumbs, seasoning with Salt & Pepper.
(13) Dip each Fishcake in the Cornflour and coat well.
(14) Dip into the beaten Egg and then coat evenly with the Breadcrumbs.
(15) Place in the fridge for 20 minutes or 10 minutes in the freezer, to set.
(16) Place the Fishcakes in a pre-heated Air Fryer at 180c for 20 minutes, turning once half way through cooking.

These might look like they were bought, but you’ll never buy Fishcakes with this depth of flavour and kick! Also we had 8 in total, 4 of which are now frozen so by way of price, they’re hard to beat budget wise…..

Leftovers Soup!


We have a confession to make…. We often cook far too many vegetables and also end up with bits of leftover meat. Most folk would throw these in the bin, but we’re a bit tight like that. So it all ends up in the freezer in boxes. But the freezer is not a bottomless pit.

So yesterday we had a “Soup Making Day” Nothing goes to waste here. I can’t give you exact ingredients for this soup but basically you’ll need the following.

Ingredients:-

Vegetables and meat leftovers from the freezer
2 Stock cubes
1 Wuzzer ( We got ours as a freebie via Amazon when we switched energy suppliers) – That’s a food processor to most folk.

Method:-

(1) Thaw everything you have stored in boxes.
(2) Boil 2 Stock cubes in 500ml of water.
(3) Blitz everything apart from the stock.
(4) Place in a large pan and add enough stock to make a reasonable soup liquidity.
(5) Bring to boil.
(6) If you are not going to eat today allow to cool and freeze in portions.

We have a few verbs and bits an bobs which we are growing in tubs on our balcony, so I dressed the soups up with those, a Gluten free cracker and a bit of grated Cheese. Looks good, tastes better!
