Serves Makes 6 burgers

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

100 g chevin or ricotta cheese
100 g snoek, flaked and bones removed
100 G fresh peas, blanched
1 T fresh mint, chopped
1 English cucumber
a handful of rocket
100 g Rosa tomatoes
100 g strawberries
ready-made mayonnaise, for serving

Method

Combine the cheese, snoek, peas and mint. Divide into six portions and shape each into a patty.

Using a Teflon-coated pan, gently fry the patties over a low heat.

Using a vegetable peeler, peel the cucumber into long ribbons.

Using a sheet of clingfilm or a sushi mat, lay out the cucumber ribbons to form an overlapping sheet. On one half of the cucumber, layer rocket leaves, a few tomatoes and strawberries. Roll up tightly then slice into rounds. Repeat twice.

Sandwich the patties between the salad rolls and serve with readymade mayonnaise on the side.

Cook’s tips: Instead of using tomato and strawberry in your salad rounds, try these refreshing combinations: coriander, baby corn, spring onion and chilli • watercress, carrots and peppers, sliced julienne, sprouts and grapefruit, sliced • rocket, fennel bulb, thinly sliced, pear and apple, sliced julienne, and walnuts, toasted • wild rocket, cooked beetroot, Gorgonzola and naartjie wedges.
