Ingredients:

200 g raw peanuts

450 g tilapia

juice of 1 lemon

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

6 thin slices of onion

1 tbsp vegetable oil

2 medium onions, grated

1 sprig parsley, chopped

Cooking Instructions:

Spread the shelled peanuts on a baking tray and place in an oven pre-heated to 170C and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and grind to a powder in a food processor. Season the fish with lemon juice, salt, pepper and the onion slices and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. Once ready fry the fish in the vegetable oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove on the pan and allow to cool. Flake the fish and remove any bones and skin. Add the fish to the onions, parsley, salt and ground peanuts. Mix in a bowl and add just enough of the chicken broth so that all the ingredients hold together. Shape into balls and fry in hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Serve as a snack with drinks.
