Add your beans, fish, parmesan, lemon and basil into a bowl and squish together into a textured, sticky mush. Season with salt and pepper and mould into 4 equal-sized patties. Put your patties in the fridge for at least an hour to firm up.

Pop a pan on medium to low heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook your fish cakes for 12-15 minutes, giving them a flip halfway through so they go golden on each side.

Pop another pan on medium heat and drizzle in a tablespoon of oil. Place your cabbage in stalk side down, and fry until golden. Add your vegetable stock cube and a drizzle of water (50ml) and place a lid on top. Allow to steam and sauté for 5 minutes, checking occasionally to stir in the stock and top up with water if it needs it. Your stock should form a glaze on your cabbage.

Plate up and tuck in! This recipe is a winner!
