CHEF ILONA: Hearty Squash Fishcakes

Canned tuna has become a pantry essential, but in the last 40 years has declined in its consumption due to health and environmental concerns. I grew up as a first generation Canadian to parents who grew up in landlocked countries where seafood of any kind was a rarity and as such was not something we often ate at home except for tinned tuna. Its delicate pale flesh and not overtly fishy flavour combined with an affordable price tag became a regular in the meal rotation.

With concerns over to our personal and environmental health as it relates to tuna consumption, here are some things to contemplate when buying tinned tuna:

When you are looking to buy a sustainably caught product that is lower in mercury, it is imperative that you take a good read of the labels and do a little research ahead of time. Some tuna species are riskier for consumers than others. Albacore can contain three times more mercury than skipjack because albacore are big predators, capable of growing up to 1.4 meters. Typically, it is reasonable to assume the bigger and longer-lived a predatory fish is, the more mercury it tends to have accumulated in its flesh.

As for sustainability, I have found that the Marine Stewardship Council is an excellent resource to refer to when looking to purchase seafood of any variety. Tunas range widely across the ocean, travelling thousands of kilometers during migrations. The tuna’s diets consist of fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans. Tuna fish require 25% of their body weight in food daily to maintain their energy requirements.

Hearty Squash Fishcakes

Chef ILona Daniel

Makes 16 fishcakes

1 ¾ cups canned pumpkin puree

3 x 5 ounce cans msc/sustainably caught tuna, drained

4 green onions sliced

½ corn kernels

½ cup carrot, grated

3 Tbsp cilantro, chopped

3 eggs

1 lime, juiced

1 tsp each cumin, paprika, Old Bay Seasoning, paprika, ground coriander & onion powder

2 ½ cup fresh breadcrumbs

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.

Using a large spring loaded ice cream scoop, portion and shape the mixture into flat patties onto a parchment lined cookie sheet that has been brushed with vegetable oil. Drizzle the top of the fish cakes with a little bit more vegetable oil or a little bit of melted butter for an extra flavour boost.

Bake at 400 for 15 minutes and then take the cookie sheet out of the oven, flip the cakes over and cook for an additional 10- 15 minutes. Both sides should be golden brown and crispy.

I like to make sliders/burgers with tuna cakes. I pop them onto buns with sriracha mayo, tomato, lettuce, red onion and avocado. Soup, salad, or oven fries make great side dish options for the tuna burgers.

It’s been a steamy day quite honestly. Either from the slow cooker or the freezer. Been rather busy the last few days making meals from the Christmas dinner leftovers. Guess what… still not finished lol. . . So far there are 2 Christmas Dinner Pies 1 x shortcrust and 1 x Puff Pastry, 4 x Turkey Curry and 6 litres of Turkey and Vegetable Soup also for the freezer. . . Still more to go and Tanny and I will be sorted for meals for a good couple of months. . . This time of the year we end up with ALOT of bills to pay so having the meals sorted@out means it’s one less thing to worry about. #bloosselfreliance #thebloopixie #leftovers #wastenotwantnot #costoflivingcrisis #livingonabudget #cookingonabudget #mealsonabudget #foosdstagram #instafood #yum #yumyum #yummy #foodie #youtuber https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwlxNkKEl6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

With these three ingredients one can prepare many dishes using them as base for a recipe. I believe grains are the most important ingredient to have in the larder in times of lockdown. All the recipes in these photos are vegan and must be tried.

Spicy White Fish Pilaf

A cheaper twist on Asda’s recipe

2 Frozen white fish Fillets

Oil

1 onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, chopped

3-4 level tsp Mild Curry Powder (cumin and Graham Masala will also work)

rice

Two handfuls of chopped spring greens

handful of frozen peas

half a lemon

Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Put the fillets in a small roasting tin with 3 tbsp water, cook for 20-25 minutes

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until it's soft and starting to turn brown. Add the garlic and continue cooking for another minute.

Add the curry powder and 2 tbsp cold water and stir over a low heat for another minute. Stir in the rice and add 600ml cold water. Season, bring slowly to the boil, then cover and simmer for 8 minutes.

Add the spring greens and peas and stir once. Heat until simmering again, then cover and simmer for another 3-4 minutes or until the rice is cooked.

Break the fish into large flakes and add to the rice with the lemon juice.

Conscious Capitalism in 2018, aka #BrandsTakingStands

One of the very first brand sponsorships I remember was the Red Bull air race back in the 90s. Red Bull was relatively new - energy drinks were just starting to take hold as a category - and I had no idea what an air race was, so the dissonance was particularly jarring. “What even? Is this?!”

Photo credit: GeneralAviationNews.com

The brilliance in this sponsorship was that extreme sports had little to no marketing presence at all before Red Bull started to put their name all over those events. They cornered the market by creating the market, in a sense. As a result, the image they were trying to project as a brand - you can do anything if you drink Red Bull! - was encapsulated in this specific type of advertising and customer outreach. Success, defined purely as brand recognition, was achieved through a new type of sponsorship.

Fast forward, and we see brands making alliances everywhere - from the ubiquitous Coca-Cola and Olympics partnership to Rap Snacks - but marketing success isn’t so narrowly defined anymore. Basic sponsorship is table stakes, so companies are going a step beyond to ensure that their customers know what their brand stands for. Refreshingly, this now means doing more than just throwing advertising dollars at an event. In response to consumer demand, some companies are making real change to their products, practices and partnerships: the new bar is brand associations with concepts, political movements, or social change, aka #BrandsTakingStands. This isn’t always simple or easy - my favorite recent news story about stellar grocery chain Wegmans and Trump wine may give you a chuckle - but most companies are tackling it in one way or another.

Photo credit: Getty Images via NYTimes

Pepsi’s purchase of SodaStream made headlines this past week, an example of consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies amping up acquisition, an age-old business practice that is often exercised to increase that company’s market share. We know that companies aren’t just purchasing smaller brands out of the goodness of their hearts; there’s business behind that business, but what exactly is the primary motivation? I believe (as many folks do) that older CPG companies are seeing the power and relevance of their core brands fade as millennials come into their buying power. In response, some have begun snapping up the smaller brands to fortify their sales, market share and brand image. These smaller companies often lead with a social mission (like Ben & Jerry’s, acquired by Unilever), make a point of minimizing environmental impact (Sweet Earth, acquired by Nestle), have a focus on health (Rx Bar, acquired by Kellogg’s) or otherwise tout more than a single bottom line. This all goes to show that today’s consumer is very much aware of the impact of their purchases: the millennial shopper is voting with their wallet, and finally the big brands are taking notice.

An interesting aspect of this capitalistic evolution is the recognition by powerful CPGs that the future of market dominance doesn’t look like a single, megastar brand anymore. Instead, companies like PepsiCo are focusing on how to develop smaller brands that reach more niche audiences. We see the same development in grocery, with small markets reaching customers in a more personally engaging fashion, a move that giant chains can’t emulate. In fact, according to a study by GlobalData, 42% of consumers trust small grocery brands more than the big guys.

Source: GlobalData Research

Grocer Girl’s Take: This self-conscious movement gives me some hope for the future of capitalism as we know it. Conscious capitalist brands *can* help communities economically, socially, and environmentally - instead of being extractive, we can be additive. This particular approach to brand leadership is really only possible if you truly know your customer and community, otherwise the new branding is just another version of sponsorship. At Neighborhood Grocery, we’re starting a conversation with our neighbors, leading from the customer and her needs - and developing our brand from there. That’s our #BrandsTakingStands approach at Neighborhood Grocery.
