Serves 6

you can substitute tuna for this recipe

1 x 415g can salmon (tuna) drained and mashed
1/2 cup shallots, sliced
500g potato, diced
1 1/2 cups carrots, sliced
1 egg white
1 tsp salt

In a large microwave dish cook potato and carrots until soft. Mash together in a large mixing bowl, add mashed salmon, lemon juice, shallots, egg white, parsley, salt and a little pepper to taste, combine ingredients together well. Refrigerate for a few hours if possible as this makes the mixture firmer for cooking. When ready to cook shape into 12 rissoles.

Have made these a fair bit Ally. They are really nice, and can be eaten hot or cold - I often used to cook them for dinner and then have them cold with salad for lunch.

Thanks for this one, I was on the lookout for something I could take to work with me and this could be perfect for lunch.

Sounds wonderful.

I have been eating these since I was a kid as they are a favourite of my mother and my grandmother! They are fantastic!

You can also add a bit of curry powder or make them with kumera for something a bit different.

This recipe looks so easy. Might give it a go.

Hey All, was wondering if Sweet Potato would be ok to us for these.

[Sassygirl]

My friend made these for us at work - really tasty but they fell apart quite easily.

[Butterfly_Dawn]

I made them Monday night - I used pumpkin cause I had run out of carrot. They do fall apart easily which could probably be solved with another egg?. A bit of chilli in them is good too!

Can't see why you couldn't use sweet potato, but it will bump up the calories....sound quite yummy actually....adding another egg would be ok, just remember if you are strict with your calorie intake you would need to add this on also....
