✨ Got leftover fish? Don’t let it go to waste – turn it into something delicious, nourishing, and blood-sugar friendly!
Golden Fish Cakes with Creamy Tahini Sauce 🐟
Ingredients
Leftover white fish (flaked)
6 eggs
2 tbsp chickpea flour
2 tbsp spelt flour
1 tsp dry estragon
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt to taste
Tahini Sauce
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp water
Juice of ½ lemon
½ tsp garlic powder
Pinch of salt
How to make
1️⃣ Flake the cooked white fish into a large bowl.
2️⃣ Whisk in the eggs, then add flours, estragon, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until you have a thick batter.
3️⃣ Heat a little olive oil in a pan and spoon in the mixture, shaping small patties. Cook on medium heat until golden on both sides.
4️⃣ Mix all tahini sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
5️⃣ Serve the fish cakes warm with a drizzle (or dollop!) of tahini sauce, alongside a fresh green salad.
Serving idea 🥗
We paired ours with a simple garden salad of leafy greens, melon (our homegrown ones tasted like cucumbers!) and creamy feta. Fresh, light, and the perfect complement to the rich fish cakes.
Why this works for blood sugar balance
🐟 Fish is a lean protein that helps keep you full and stabilises blood sugar.
🌾 Using chickpea and spelt flour gives you a boost of fibre and minerals, instead of relying on refined white flour.
🥚 Eggs add high-quality protein and healthy fats, making these cakes satisfying and energy-friendly.
🥄 The tahini sauce adds healthy fats and calcium, further slowing digestion for steady energy release.
🥗 Adding greens, melon, and feta boosts hydration, fibre, and minerals, making the meal more balanced and refreshing.
Simple, tasty, and a perfect way to transform leftovers into a balanced meal!
