Thai Fish Balls With Chilli and Lime Mayonnaise
This is also one of the recipes I made for my Asian night, again this is an excellent recipe and the chili, lime, mayonnaise goes exceptionally well with these little gems. All the recipes I made that night were very easy to prepare and did not take long to make. The biggest time consumer was getting all the veg and herbs chopped ready to make each recipe. I chose to do that all first along with making all the dipping sauces to save myself time. I will admit though I had help this time from my hubby helping to crush garlic and to wash up all my messy dishes as I like to do that as I go along so that saved a lot of time for me.

Ingredients

600g White fish fillets, roughly chopped
2 Red chilies, finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
2 Tablespoons smooth light peanut butter

1/2 Cup mayonnaise
1/4 Cup coriander, roughly chopped
2 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 Tablespoon grated lime rind
1 Teaspoon lime juice
Plain flour, for rolling
Oil, for shallow frying

Method

1. To make Chilli and Lime Mayonnaise: ~ Combine the mayonnaise, coriander, chilli sauce, rind and juice until smooth and chill for serving later.

2. Put the fish, chillies, garlic, peanut spread, coriander and fish sauce in a food processor and process until smooth. Place into a bowl and stir in the chopped red onion then cover and chill for about 5 minutes.

3. When chilled well shape the fish mixture, (this is easier using wet hands), into 30 × 2cm balls and roll lightly in flour.

4. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

5. Cook the balls, in 2 batches, for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Serve with the Chilli and Lime Mayonnaise.

Key Largo Key Lime Pie
This is my final recipe I made for the swap on Recipezaar, it was very good. I did make with a little more cream cheese than stated as I wanted to just decorate the top with the whipped cream not spread it across the top. I did keep the rest of the ingredient amounts the same, we all thought it was delicious.
