Spicy Fish Cakes

Todays Fish Cake recipe is one of my favorites and loved by both my sons and husband too. In our home we love spicy food and even though Gerrard is only 2 years old he has already developed quite the spicy palate. If you are not a huge fan of chillies just skip it from the recipe! 

Ingredients serving 4:

400g Fish - you can use any type of fish in this recipe I used salmon filet

400g Mashed Potatoes 

A bunch of coriander finely chopped

1 medium sized chopped onion

2 finely chopped Chillies

Salt and pepper 

Vegetable oil for frying

1 egg, beaten

Flour 

Poach the salmon, then break into chunks without the skin and mix with the mashed potatoes, coriander, onions and chillies. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the mix and then make little balls in your own desired size and slightly flatten for frying. Dip the balls in the beaten egg, roll in the flour and fry in a medium heat pan until golden brown. Serve it with a dip of your choice, we used a bit of mayonnaise and some sweet-chili sauce. 

Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy recipe! If you try it out don't forget to let me know how it goes on Facebook!

Hello Cape Town!

Thank you all for the kind comments on my last few posts. I am really getting into this blogger mode :) Today I am writing about my trip to Cape Town, after Cape Agulhas we decided to stay a few nights in wonderful Cape Town! I have been before but for the boys it was their first time so you can imagine their excitement going up to Table Mountain, discovering all that Cape Town has to offer and more! Hope you enjoy the pictures :)

Cape Agulhas

A while back while on holidays in the Western Cape we got to spend a few days in Cape Agulhas a lovely, peaceful little fishing village. We stayed in one of the beautiful log cabins, with stunning views of the ocean which was only a few feet away. We enjoyed many braai's and chatting around the fireplace. It was truly a memorable stay and we were quite sad to leave in the end but on we went to Cape Town! More of that in my next travel post coming soon.

Morning Tea at Mount Nelson Hotel

I really wanted to share my wonderful experience at the Mount Nelson hotel where I had a lovely morning tea. What a stunning hotel with a lush garden and inviting swimming pool that the boys later got to enjoy. We dined alfresco and were spoilt for choice, everything from the petite sandwiches to decadent desserts served with refreshing tea made me want to come back the next time I'm in Cape Town.
