Seafood Patties

Ingredients :
300 g fish fillet * (without skin and bone), coarsely minced

150 g prawn (shelled), finely diced

100 g (5 packs) Jacob’s Hi-Cal crackers, finely crushed

¼ cup finely chopped onion

1 egg, beaten

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground pepper

1 stalk spring onion, finely sliced (2 Tbsp)

1 stalk coriander, finely sliced (2 Tbsp)

1 red chili, seeded and finely chopped

3 – 4 Tbsp oil (for frying patties)

* Use white fish such as lemon sole, snapper or dory.

Method:
Place minced fish and diced prawn in a mixing bowl. Add about 2/3 of the crushed Jacob’s Hi-Cal crackers (around 70 g), the onion, egg, seasonings, spring onion, coriander and chilli. Mix with a fork until well combined.

Place the remaining crushed Jacob’s Hi-Cal crackers in a small bowl. Form the seafood mixture into small balls the size of a large lime. Flatten 1 cm thick and roll in the crushed crackers. Shape all the patties this way, arranging them on a tray as you make them.

Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Fry patties for 2 – 3 minutes per side or until golden brown.

If you prefer, serve with a simple green salad.
