It showed that the local traditional diet is much better because it's mostly fish and sea mammals that are full with omega 3 which is good for building up a good cholesterol level and preventing heart diseases.
I'm a diabetic type 1 and since last year the doctor prescribed me with Lipitor, medicine for high cholesterol. With all of that I think I will cook more fish dishes from now on.
This is the start.
SMOKED HADDOCK CAKES
(made 4-5 cakes)
2 smoked haddock fillets
2 bay leaves
5 cloves
Lime/lemon peel
Milk
4 large potatoes
1 cup peas
2 spring onions, sliced finely.
salt, pepper, nutmeg
1 egg, whisked
Flour
Breadcrumbs
Poach the fish in milk with bay leaves, cloves and peel over a low heat for about 15 minutes or until the fish is cooked and flakes easily. Let it cool and then flake the flesh.
Boil the potatoes until cooked and mash them, using a little bit of the poaching milk, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Mix in the flaked fish, peas and spring onions. Mix well and let it cool.
Shape the fish mixture into burgers and dust them with flour, dip in the egg and cover with breadcrumbs.
Put them in the oven on 200 degrees C for about 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Serve them with salad and sauce of your choice.
