It is official: Clever Kelp is the queen of fishcakes. We arrived home late, after end-of-term concert etc, to find her at the stove in her cute apron, frying her spicy tuna burgers. These were served with sweet chilli sauce, boiled potatoes and a crunchy salad and made the hungry rentals purr!
The recipe is very simple. Boil two small potatoes until very soft, then mash them with a bit of butter. To this mash add:
- Two tins of tuna, drained
- One small onion, finely chopped and fried
- One small egg, beaten
- Plenty of paprika
- Tobasco if you like things spicy
Mix well, form into burgers and roll in plain flour. Fry them quite soon after making, as otherwise they get sticky again.
Instead of dessert, we used up the ripe apricots that had been lurking in the fruit bowl, along with a mango, a couple of bananas and a generous helping of apple juice to make smoothies. They were rather delicious, as well as being very thick.
It is a good thing that we have been eating so well, as the weather has been RUBBISH! So much for it being summer!
I think that I'll try a SArican version - sounds delicious!!!!!!!! And will eat it with a SAV of some sort - maybe Life from Stone by Springfield?>?
