This recipe is from Zanzibar. As Zanzibar has been
a port for many centuries, the cuisine has been influenced by many
cultures. It is as difficult to say what is the food like in Zanzibar
as it is to say what the food like in Europe. These fish cakes should
be made with fresh tuna. Even for those who hate tuna, give these a
try as I am sure you will love this dish. These are also ideal as a
snack, or remove the peppers and the fish cakes make a great
children's meal, as you should eat them with your fingers.
Directions - Soak the bread in the milk. Chop the
onion and peppers together in the bowl of a food processor. Add the
fish and spices and blend to mix. Squeeze the milk out of the bread
and add it and the egg to the fish mixture. Seed and finely chop the
tomato and mix into the fish mixture by hand.
Form the fish mixture into oblong, finger-shapes.
Coat with the breadcrumbs, pressing them slightly into the fish sticks
with the flat side of a knife.
