SEAFOOD CAKE...

I got this recipe from my friend @ajikespecial, added calamari to it and it was beautiful! Thank you babe! ;)

It couldn't be any simpler and it makes for an amazing starter or snack.

2 Cups Fresh Calamari

1 Cup Fresh Shrimps

2 Cans of Tuna

1 Spring Onion (Chopped)

3 Cloves of Garlic (Chopped)

2 Eggs

1/4 Cup of Flour

1 Tablespoon Chopped Parsley

1 Tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce

1 Tablespoon Red Chili Flakes

2 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil

Add calamari and shrimps to food processor and blitz till its broken down but still chunky. Or you could chop semi-finely with a sharp knife.

Transfer to a big bowl, add tuna and mash together with a fork.

Gradually incorporate all the other ingredients and mash till you have a thick paste.

Add the oil to a large non-stick pan and when the oil is hot, add medium sized seafood mix. A quick tip; to avoid having your seafood patty sticking to your palms, you could rub a little vegetable oil on your palms before moulding.

Do not over crowd you pan, you should give yourself some room to flip the cakes over. 

Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, till the outside is a nice golden brown and crisp. Resist the urge to press the cakes down as you fry, you will only be pushing out all the moisture and leaking all the flavour into the oil.

Serve on a bed of vegetables, in a burger or just much away as is.

You can make a simple dipping sauce by whisking together a tablespoon of garlic sauce, a teaspoon of mustard, sweet chilli sauce, chili flakes, fish sauce, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

Enjoy!
