I have recently fallen in love with this ingredient (so much so its a regular now in the shopping basket)as its so versatile and can be used in so many ways, so here is a recipe from the Total website that I have tried in my own kitchen, created by nutrionist Martin MacDonald as a weightloss recipe.

Spicy Fishcakes with sweet potato wedges and yoghurt dip.

• 40g Total Greek Yoghurt (0%)
• 200g sweet potato, cut  into chunky wedges
• Olive oil - drizzle
• Paprika spice mix
• 100g salmon
• 50g prawns
• 1/2tsp thai curry paste (panang paste)
• Handful of fresh coriander leaves - chopped
• Pinch of salt
• 25g green beans
• 160g mixed salad ( lettuce, cucumber, spinach, celery)
• 10g coconut oil
• 1/4 chilli
• Freshly ground pepper

Method

• Preheat the oven to 375F / 190C / Gas mark 5
• Place the wedges in a bowl, mix with salt, pepper and spice mix and place on a baking tray. Cook in the middle of the oven for  approximately 45 minutes
• Place the salmon, prawns , thai curry paste, coriander and a pinch of salt in a food processor and blend until a paste is formed. Add the beans and blend again. Turn out of the processor and place in a bowl.
• Refrigerate for about 10 minutes
• Prepare the salad on your plate
• With cool hands shape your fish mixture into small patties
• Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry for approximately 10 minutes on each side over a low heat
• Prepare the dip by mixing the copped coriander and chopped chilli with the greek yoghurt
• Once the wedges have nicely crisped and the fish cakes ready, place on your serving plate with the yoghurt dip.

We really enjoyed this recipe, particularly the spicy fish cakes which were very easy to make and the lovely cooling yoghurt dip to offset the spices in the fish cake. The recipe is enough to serve 2 adults. If you tempered the chilli and thai red curry paste it would also be suitable for the whole family.
