POLOKWANE – Fishcakes are usually associated with hake but they can be made with most fish.
With this recipe, chives are added to the fishcakes.
Chives are the smallest and most delicate member of the onion family. They have long, thin green blades that are hollow inside.
They have a mild, grassy flavour similar to baby spring onions or young leeks.
Ingredients
- 500g potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 tins tuna in salt water, drained

- 250ml cake flour
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 500ml breadcrumbs

Method
- Steam or boil the cubed potatoes until soft then mash.
