method
1. Poach the cod in enough simmering water to just cover it for 3-4 minutes until the fish starts to flake. Drain and pat dry with kitchen paper. Leave to cool.

4. Beat in the Major Piri Piri Mari Base, butter, nutmeg, parsley, lemon zest and pepper.

5. Flake the cod into pieces and fold into the potato mix, then fold in the pancetta. Set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.

6. Divide the mixture into 12 and shape into ovals about 2.5cm thick.
