These easy and tasty little fish cakes are perfect to get kids to eat more vegetables. You could add different flavours or spices to the mixture, such as paprika or dried mixed herbs. For a spicier flavour add a pinch of cayenne pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is just one of many healthy and tasty recipes available in a new cookbook<\/a> launched in September, which is Heart Awareness Month, to keep South African\u2019s blood pressure in check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

170 g tin tuna in water, drained<\/p>\n\n\n\n

410 g tin cream style sweetcorn<\/p>\n\n\n\n

80 ml frozen peas, rinsed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

250 ml wholewheat flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd tsp baking powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 eggs, beaten<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 ml chopped fresh parsley<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bc tsp salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15 ml lemon juice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black pepper to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 ml sunflower or canola oil for frying<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Place all the ingredients, except the oil, in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry small spoonfuls of the mixture on both sides until golden brown and cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Spoon out and drain on paper towel. Repeat with the rest of the mixture and a little extra oil if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Serve as part of a lunch box with lemon wedges, sweet chilli sauce, tomato sauce or chutney. Carrot sticks, blanched broccoli florets and wedges of fruit like apple and pear will make for a more filling lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. If preferred, use pilchards in tomato sauce instead of the tuna. Drain the tomato sauce and freeze to add as a liquid to fish soup or stew. Left-over cooked fish also works well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. If your kids enjoy frozen veggies, add any other frozen veggie, like more corn or carrots to the mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NoordkaapBulletin is a regional newspaper based in Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape of South Africa. It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
