Hake fishcakes

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

These are full of sweet potato, kale and spinach – you couldn’t pack in more veg if you tried! Make the hash browns the day before and chill, then fry. Woolies’ crinkle-cut oven chips make the perfect side.

Ingredients

1 hake fillet
1 T olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 Woolworths Kara orange sweet potatoes, boiled and grated
100 g kale, blanched and squeezed of excess water
50 g spinach, blanched and squeezed of excess water
20 g parsley, roughly chopped
20 g dill, roughly chopped
10 g chives, finely chopped
1 x 180 g jar Woolworths Albacore white tuna fillets in olive oil, drained and flaked oil, for shallow frying
crispy capers, for serving
lemon wedges, for serving
For the tartare sauce, mix:
2 T mayonnaise
4 gherkins, roughly chopped
1⁄2 red onio, roughly chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
10 g dill, roughly chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the hake on a piece of greaseproof paper on a sheet of tin foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season. Seal the parcel and roast for 10–15 minutes.

2. Remove from the oven and allow the hake to cool slightly, then flake into large chunks. Combine the hake with the sweet potatoes, kale, spinach, parsley, dill, chives and tuna and season to taste.

3. Shape into 10 palm-sized patties and fry in the oil over a medium heat until golden brown. Place on a baking tray and finish off in the oven for 10 minutes. Serve the warm fish hash browns with the tartare sauce, capers and lemon wedges.
