Potato and Hake Frikkadels

I got the idea for this recipe while watching an episode of Mary Berry's cooking show on Britbox.

Ingredients

• 4 small or 2 large potatoes
• 2 leeks sliced (onion is ok)
• ¼ red pepper diced
• 2 smallish hake fillets (170g tin of tuna works as well)
• ½ tsp Dried ginger
• ½ tsp Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 heaped Tbsp mayonnaise
• ½ cup frozen peas (optional)
• Salt and Pepper

Method

Cook potatoes until soft (microwave is ok).

Fry onion/leeks and red pepper until softish (add the ginger and coriander while frying).

Cook hake until almost done (for microwave cooking, I cook for 40s at 40% three times turning after each 40s period - don't cook too fast).

Microwave the peas in a covered dish for two minutes on full power.

Mash the potatoes and mix in the mustard and mayonnaise.

Fold the onions/leeks and red pepper into the mash.

Add salt and freshly ground pepper.

Flake the hake onto the mash.

Now gently fold the hake and peas into the mash - you don't want to mash the peas.

Place the mash on a board and shape it into four frikkadels.

Fry these in hot oil until golden brown (take care when flipping as they may break).

Serve directly from the pan.

Enjoy!
