Ingredients

Method
  • 350 g hake, poached or pan-fried
  • 300 g mashed potato
  • 1 t mint, chopped
  • 2 limes, zested
  • 1 chilli, chopped
  • 1 free-range egg
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 beetroot, grated
  • flour, for dusting
  • 4 T olive oil
  • 2 cucumbers
  • For the satay sauce:

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 3 T red curry paste
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ½ cup good-quality chicken stock
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 T fresh lime juice, plus extra for serving
  • salt, to taste

Method

Ingredients

Flake the hake and gently mix with the mashed potato, mint, lime zest, chilli, egg, salt and pepper. Shape into small cakes, pat a little beetroot onto each and dust with seasoned flour.

Pan-fry on both sides in the olive oil over a medium to high heat until golden brown.

To make the satay sauce, bring the coconut milk to a simmer in a saucepan. Whisk in the curry paste, peanut butter, stock and sugar. Reduce the heat and cook, whisking continually, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice and salt.

Cut the cucumbers in half lengthways, then into thirds. Char the cut side in a hot, dry pan. Squeeze over lime juice, sprinkle with sea salt and serve with the fish cakes and satay sauce.
