Thai Fish Balls With Chilli And Lime Mayonnaise - cooking recipe

Ingredients

600 g white fish fillets, roughly chopped
2 red chilies, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons smooth light peanut butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup coriander, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon grated lime rind
1 teaspoon lime juice
plain flour, for rolling
oil, for shallow frying
lime wedge, to serve

Preparation

To make Chilli and Lime Mayonnaise: ~ Combine the mayonnaise, coriander, chilli sauce, rind and juice until smooth and chill for serving later.
Put the fish, chillies, garlic, peanut spread, coriander and fish sauce in a food processor and process until smooth. Place into a bowl and stir in the chopped red onion then cover and chill for about 5 minutes.
When chilled well shape the fish mixture, (this is easier using wet hands), into 30 x 2cm balls and roll lightly in flour.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Cook the balls, in 2 batches, for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
Serve with the Chilli and Lime Mayonnaise.
