How to make Fischpflanzerl

Ingredients:

• 600g white fish (bream, nase, barbel)

• 2 soaked bread rolls

• 1 onion

• 1 small bunch of dill and parsley

• 100g vegetables, finely diced (carrots, leeks, celery)

• 2-3 eggs

• 6cl Noilly Prat or Pernod

• Clarified butter or rapeseed oil for frying

• Salt and pepper

Peel and dice the onion. Wash the parsley and dill, dry, and finely chop. Lightly sauté in some butter. Finely dice the vegetables and blanch in boiling water. Mix all the ingredients together with the eggs and pass the mixture through a mincer. Season with salt and pepper and add 6 cl Noilly Prat (or Pernod). Form the mixture into small patties and fry them on both sides until golden brown.

Tip: In Kelheim, these fish cakes are typically served with a freshly prepared cucumber and potato salad.
