Spring has come and codfish fritters as well! They are great as appetizer or along with a salad. We use to prepare them with codfish under salt, so you will need to soak them for at least 24 h under water (follow the directions of your package). You can also prepare it with fresh codfish or even another kind of fish, but codfish is quite unique in flavor and texture. The important thing is to fry them just before enjoying them. You can prepare the dough in advance. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-250 gr codfish
-100 gr plain flour
-1 tsp baking powder
-2 eggs
-1 bay leave
-pepper
-1 garlic clove
-1 spring onion
-1 sp fresh parsley
-Oil for frying (olive / seeds oil)
Directions:
1-bring water to a boil with a bay leave, some pepper and a bit of oil. When boiling, turn the heat off and soak the codfish for 10 minutes.
2-cut the garlic, onion and parsley into fine pieces (as fine as you possibly can)
3-strain the codfish and cut it in fine pieces (again, as fine as you possibly can)
4-mix the flour, baking powder and a bit of salt (depending on how salty the cod was, don't even add salt at all) with 3-4 tbsp of water. Add the eggs and mix well. Finally add the onion, garlic, parsley and codfish, mix and set aside (in the fridge) for at least 30 min.
5-heat a large amount of oil and fry small amounts of dough until they are golden brown. Drain and let them cool a bit on some kitchen paper. Enjoy while they are still warm.
