TUNISIAN FISH CAKES WITH LEMON-PAPRIKA AïOLI (PASSOVER)



Tunisian Fish Cakes With Lemon-Paprika Aïoli (Passover) image

This is a wonderful dish that even those who don't usually like fish will enjoy. Recipe is from "Bon Appétit" (April 2003). If you are not making this for Passover, you can replace the matzo meal with breadcrumbs. Recipe can be easily halved. These rewarm well, so it's a great dish to prepare ahead of time. They actually freeze well too, and taste good cold. If you form larger patties, these make a great main dish.

1 1/2 teaspoons tumeric
2 medium onions, sliced into thin rings
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
