Method<br />

Boil the potato in lightly salted water for 25 to 30 minutes until tender (to a table<br />

knife). Drain and when cool enough to handle, peel and mash.<br />

Cook the salmon in the microwave for a couple of minutes with a squeeze of lemon<br />

juice and a knob of butter. Flake onto a plate and leave to cool slightly. Mix the potato<br />

with the spring onions, chilli sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise and salt and pepper to taste.<br />

Fold in the flaked salmon, being careful not to break the fish up too much.<br />

Take tablespoonfuls of the mixture and form into small cakes. Dust in seasoned flour.<br />

Heat the oil in a non stick pan and fry the fishcakes for 2 to 3 minutes on each side<br />

until golden. If you want perfectly round footballs then you will need to deep fry the<br />

salmon balls.<br />

98 Yummy Burgers<br />

Ingredients<br />

1 medium red onion, chopped<br />

3 tbsp sunflower oil<br />

1 garlic clove, crushed<br />

1/2 tsp thyme leaves<br />

2 slices white bread, crusts removed<br />

250 g (9 oz) minced beef<br />

3 tbsp tomato chutney (or you could use tomato relish)<br />

salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

1–2 tbsp flour, for dusting<br />

Method<br />

Sauté the onion in 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil for 5–6 minutes until soft. Add the<br />

garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute. Tear the bread into pieces and put in a food<br />

processor with the onion mixture and blitz together.<br />

If you want a really smooth texture, pulse all the ingredients together in the food<br />

processor for a few seconds. If not, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and season<br />

to taste. Form the mixture into 6 burgers using flour-dusted hands.<br />

Fry the burgers in the remaining oil for 4 to 5 minutes on each side over a medium-tolow<br />

heat. If you fry over a high heat, because of the sugar in the tomato chutney the<br />

burgers have a tendency to burn. Alternatively cook the burgers under a pre-heated<br />

grill. Serve in a bun with lettuce and tomato.<br />
