Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

In a large bowl, combine corned beef, cornmeal, chopped onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, thyme, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Mix in the egg and enough water to form a thick batter.

Fold in chopped green onion and parsley for added freshness.

Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove cakes and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve hot with lime juice drizzled on top.
