Ling Ballons Thai Style

Ingredients:
2 x stale crusty white buns
1 large fillet of Ling (must be a season old ;)) skinned, pin boned and cut into chunks
tsp salt
tsp black cracked pepper
tsp chilli flakes
Handful fresh coriander
Drizzle of Olive oil

Take buns and tear into chunks - wazz through a food processor until bread crumby. Add salt, pepper, chilli flakes, Ling, coriander and olive oil and wazz again until a doughy fish ball mix is formed.

Form into ballons and put to one side

Thai Curry ingredients:
Yellow Thai curry paste (only known supplier is Tesco that I'm aware of)
Onion
Fresh Spinach
Mushrooms
Cracked pepper
Salt
Coconut milk/cream

Slice (not chop) onion and fry in olive oil for 5 or so mins in a wok or large non stick fry pan. Add sliced mushrooms to the pan and fry them over high heat until mushys take on a golden tinge.

Add a liberal splodge of curry paste to suit (I use half a jar) and fry off for a couple more mins. Add a generous couple of hanfuls of fresh spinach and wilt down. Over high heat again reduce off some of the liquid that will come out of the spinach.

Add coconut milk and bring back to simmer - add the doughballs and cook everything for 15 or so minutes (may require longer as the inherent liquid in some of the ingredients may need to be reduced off leaving only the coconut milkiness)

Serve with rice or even on own ;)
 
a think yr just showing off with all these last season fish my freezer was empty before the season finished:D:D
 
It was canny - took a punt and posted the above before actually trying it out :D

That fish balls might actually work better as a fish cake ;)

The Thai curry recipe is faultless tho :thumbup:
 
Aye Tony, I'm guessing the breadcrumbs will have absorbed a canny bit of liquid & swollen up bursting your balls;) - I'd lose them altogether, substitute a little chopped veg like finely chopped leek & add an egg and a couple of spoons of flour to the mix to bind it together. I wouldn't use a whizzer either, just mash it all in a bowl with a fork, but that's probably just me being lazy with the washing up! It'd have a better texture too.

Gary :)
