Name of Recipe:Thai Pork & Corn Cakes - converted from a W.W. Low Fat Cookbook
Number of People:Makes 16 cakes
Ingredients:
500g pork & veal mince
6 spring onions, cut into 5cm (2") lengths
6 stalks coriander, include stems - cut in half
35g wholemeal breadcrumbs
1 tblspn red curry paste
1 egg, lightly beaten
130g can corn kernels, drained
Preparation:
Mince the meats if you haven't bought ready made mince. Remove from bowl. Place the spring onions, coriander, breadcrumbs, curry paste and egg into the TM bowl and blitz for 5 seconds on speed 7. Add the corn and mince meat and mix on reverse for 30 seconds on speed 2.
Take approx 1 tblspn mixture and shape it into balls and place onto a lined oven tray. Press down to make a patty shape. Repeat with remaining mixture and refrigerate until ready to cook them.
Bake in a hot oven for 20-25 minutes turning halfway through the cooking time.
Serve with a sweet chilli dipping sauce.
Tips/Hints:
The uncooked patties can be frozen.
I made my own mince but it was too lean so next time I will just buy ordinary pork mince as I feel it needs a little fat to keep the cake moist. I can't see any benefit of adding veal mince to it and have never seen pork and veal mince in the shops.

mel81q - Great recipe! I cooked them as recommended and then used the left overs to make burgers and fried them in a pan - yummo.

pork & veal mince used to be really common and it's much nicer (milder) than plain pork mince.

Oh, OK if you can get it then by all means use what the recipe suggests. I had no trouble mincing my own but the 2 lots of leg steak were so lean, no fat at all and although I always cut the fat off my meat, I think you need a little in this recipe.

i haven't seen it in years though! lol sorry, it used to be common but is hard to get now...

We had pork and veal mince tonight in a chilli con carne type dish. MrsT bought it at the local butcher?
