Cooking Instructions
- Mix the boneless fish with garlic, coriander, lemon juice and zest and season with salt and pepper. Place the beaten egg on a flat and wide plate and place the breadcrumbs, cayenne pepper and turmeric in a similar plate – mixing the dry mix lightly.
- Scoop out teaspoonfuls of the fish mixture, press firmly in your hand and shape into mini fishcakes. Pass into the beaten egg and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 15 ml each of the oil and butter and fry the mini fishcakes for about 2 minutes on each side until cooked. Place in absorbent paper to drain off the oil.
- Wipe the pan and heat 15 ml each of the oil and butter until hot. Sauté the cabbage, star anise and lemon or bay leaf for 2 minutes and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Add the sugar, vinegar and continue stir-frying for 1 minute. Add the milk and simmer for 2-3 minutes until milk evaporates – this intensifies the star anise flavour. Remove and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil and butter in the same pan (washed or wiped) and add the spices, heating for only 30 seconds. Add the apple slices and for cook a minute on each side.
