METHOD:

Dissolve the beef stock cube in the cup of hot water. Allow to cool.

Flake the meat and mix together with the parsley, mashed potatoes and half the breadcrumbs.

Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan. Add the flour, stir and cook for a few minutes on a low heat. Add the beef stock to the pan, stirring well until it thickens. Add to the meat and potato mixture and mix well.

Form into small, flat cakes. Roll in the remaining dried breadcrumbs.

Lightly fry the cakes in a small amount of butter until they are golden brown on each side. Serve hot or cold with mixed vegetables or a colourful side salad.
