Easy and oh so tasty recipes

I haven't been working much for the past few weeks -quit my full time job due to the fact that I was never home and never had weekends off. Instead of working, I've been cooking A LOT! Here are the best recipes I have found so far. They are all ridiculously tasty and basic- I like to keep my cooking as simple as possible.

Thai fish cakes

*A few things I changed: I used more eggs and added about half a cup of flour to the mixture. I also ditched the coconut milk (didn't have any in the cupboard) and used coconut oil to cook in instead. It still gave a great flavour to the cakes. For the onion I did a combination of spring onion and one whole regular onion. These were the best fish cakes I've ever tasted!!

 

Ingredients

• 1kg boneless skinless fish fillets
• 5 green onions, chopped finely
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh coriander
• 2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup (60ml) coconut milk
• 100g green beans, sliced thinly
• peanut oil (I used coconut oil), for shallow frying
• 1/3 cup (60ml) soy sauce

Method

• Blend/ process (I just cut into small chunks) fish, add the onion, garlic, coriander, paste, egg and coconut milk until just combined. Stir beans into mixture.
• Shape level tablespoons of the fish mixture into cakes, cover: refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat oil in large frying pan; shallow-fry fish cakes, in batches, about 3 minutes or until browned slightly both sides and cooked through. Drain on absorbent paper.
