Ingredients

Spring Onions

2 medium, chopped roughly

Garlic

1 clove(s), crushed

Root Ginger

2 teaspoon(s)

Chilli, green or red

1 individual, green, deseeded and chopped

Cod, raw

250 g, skinless, cut into chunks

Prawns, Peeled & Cooked

125 g

Thai Fish Sauce

2 tablespoon(s), or light soy sauce

Calorie controlled cooking spray

5 spray(s)

Coriander, Dried

1 teaspoon(s), level

Lemon

1 medium, or lime, cut into wedges, to serve

Instructions

  1. Put the onions, garlic, ginger and chilli into a food processor and whizz for a few seconds until chopped finely.
  2. Place the fish in the processor with the prawns, fish sauce or soy sauce, coriander and pepper.
  3. Blend everything together until the mixture looks mashed and just begins to hold together. Do not over-process or you will end up with purée.
  4. Add the cooking spray to a large nonstick frying-pan so it covers the pan. Take a small spoonful of the mixture and fry it for a minute or so on each side, then cool and taste it. Season to taste.
  5. Using hands dipped into cold water, shape the mixture into eight patties. Reheat the pan. When the pan is hot cook the patties for 3 minutes on each side until they feel firm and golden brown. Drain the patties on kitchen paper and serve garnished with the lemon or lime wedges.
