Easy Peasy Fish Cakes (or Post-Rugby madness)

So easy Ms Comer's cat Basil could do it!

I made these solely to use up some leftover mash and veggies from Sunday night, but they were so good I had to share! 

Fish cakes (makes 6)

2 185gm tins flaked tuna, drained

Approx 1 cup mashed potato

1/2 broccoli, chopped roughly and steamed

1/4 cup edamame (soy beans, get them in the frozen section at Countdown)

Parsley, finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Flour

2 tablespoons olive oil 

Blend steamed veggies in a food processor or blender till you have a chunky purée.  Combine in a bowl with drained tuna, mash and chopped parsley.  Season now if you want to.

Form palm-sized fish cakes, about 2 cm thick.  Coat lightly with flour and set aside.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.  I cooked 4 fish cakes at a time, for about 5 mins on each side.  You want them to be crispy and golden brown.

The boys had theirs with baked beans, peas and sweet corn after rugby practice tonight and wolfed them down!  Mr B and I had ours with a big salad, garlic aioli and chilli sauce.  Yum yum.

Ps - you can easily substitute any steamed veggies for the broccoli and edamame: peas, courgette, carrot...
