Fish Patties:
3-4:
Ingredients:
1/2 large onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
150g potato, mashed using butter or margarine
200g white fish (I used Mulloway)
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon dill pickle or gherkin, chopped
small handful parsley
25g anchovies
approx 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
Preparation:
Prepare breadcrumbs according to Thermomix book and remove.
Chop parsley 5-10 seconds on speed 7 and remove.
Pulse fish using turbo button until it is fairly fine, but not puree, and remove.
Chop onion, garlic and anchovies 5-10 seconds on Speed 7.
Pour in olive oil and cook 1 minute at 100 degrees on Speed 1.
Add the mashed potato, fish, capers, parsley and dill pickles. Mix for 30 seconds on speed 1.
Add enough breadcrumbs to create a texture that will hold together and mix for 5 seconds on speed 1. (You may not need to add any breadcrumbs.)
Shape the mix into flat patties and chill for at least 1 hour.
When ready to cook dust the patties in flour, egg and the remaining fresh breadcrumbs.
Fry these gently in olive oil until cooked through.
Drain on a paper towel.

Tips/Hints:
Take care when frying the fish patties as the fresh breadcrumbs burn easily.

CP - How good are they? They are simply delish! Doubled the recipe because I didn't know how many we would have for tea, and it then made 12 patties. Could not even taste the anchovies but am sure it added to the wonderful overall taste. Another favourite, thanks heaps.
Lellyj - Thanks for this delicious recipe. I made a double quantity to use up some pike my son caught. I made some mayo and stirred some chopped preserved lemon thtough it to serve with the patties. Very rich, but yummo! My son wouldn't think he likes anchovies, capers and gherkins, but as was commented above, all the flavours mix together to be just generally delicious, so he happily ate these patties.
