Ingredients

• 1 x 425 g tin pilchards in tomato sauce

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 1 small onion, grated

• 1 carrot or baby marrow, grated

• ½ cup (125 ml) self-raising flour

• 5 tbsp (75 ml) oats

• ½ tsp (2,5 ml) salt

• lemon juice and black pepper to taste

• 3 tbsp (45 ml) chopped fresh parsley

• 3 tbsp (45 ml) chopped fresh coriander or more parsley

• 1 tbsp (15 ml) tomato sauce or chutney

• 1 tbsp (15 ml) sunflower oil

Method

Flake fish and small bones in the tomato sauce, with a fork.

Mix fish with the remaining ingredients, except the oil.

Heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan and place spoonfuls of the batter in the pan.

Fry on both sides until golden brown and cooked. Drain on paper towel and keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the oil and batter.

Serve with lemon wedges, a green salad and a baked potato per person.

Notes

Replace pilchards with any fish of your choice, like tuna or left-over hake or snoek and add another 2 tbsp tomato sauce.

These can be served with a green salad, the Creamy mashed potatoes on p XX and the Chakalaka sauce on p XX.
