ADAPTED from a recip in the Ainsley Harriot low fat cookbook.

Excellent book to look out for for UK members, particularly if you like spicier foods.

    2 thick slices white bread, crusts removed, about 100 g (4 oz)

    1/2 green chilli, seeded and finely chopped
    2.5 cm (1 inch) piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
    4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 egg
    oil, for spraying

Directions

Place the bread in a bowl, cover with water, soak for about 10 seconds, then squeeze out the excess water. Place the drained bread in a food processcor with the prawns, chilli, ginger, garlic, coriander, salt and egg. Pulse until well blended.

Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Using lightly floured hands divide the mixture into 12 small cakes.

Spray with a little oil and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning half-way through, until brown and just beginning to crisp

Serve warm with baby lettuce, rocket or watercress leaves and a bowl of sweet chilli sauce. (not included in the nutritional values)
