Ingredients                        

  • 450 g/1lb smoked haddock fillet, skinned and finely chopped

  • 350 g/12 oz mashed potato

  • 100 g/4 oz/1 cup cooked long-grain rice

  • 5 ml/1 tsp anchovy essence (extract)

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • A little plain (all-purpose) flour

  • 6 rashers (slices) streaky bacon, rinded

  • Passata (sieved tomatoes)

Method:

  1. Mix the fish with the potato, rice, anchovy essence, lemon rind and juice, a good grinding of pepper and the nutmeg.

  2. Mix with the egg to bind. With well-floured hands, shape the mixture into 6 finger shapes. Wrap each in a rasher of bacon.

  3. Lay in a lightly oiled roasting tin (pan) and brush with a little more oil.
