Cod fritters recipe
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of desalted cod.
- 100 grams of pastry wheat flour.
- Water for the dough.
- One lemon’s juice.
- Egg.
- A tablespoon of milk, 15 ml. milk.
- 3 sprigs of minced parsley.
- An onion.
- A pinch of ground black pepper.
- Extra virgin olive oil.
Elaboration:
- Previously we will soak the cod to desalt it, we will need at least 2 or 3 days for this process, in which we will change the water to the cod every 8 hours.
- Once we have the desalted cod, we remove the last soak and pass it through clean water, and drain it well.
- We chop the cod into small pieces, remove the bones and the skin, if it has them, and put it to marinate for at least 3 hours.
- In case we have decided on the cod crumbs, we will not have to remove the thorns or the skin, since they come clean.
- We will prepare the marinade with the lemon juice and milk, while it is marinating we will turn it several times.
- When we finish the marinating time, drain the cod well and reserve it to prepare the dough for the fritters.
- In a bowl we beat the egg well, add the flour, a tablespoon of virgin olive oil, a pinch of black pepper and beat everything very well to mix.
- We add while we are beating a little water. The dough should be dense, without lumps. Brown the chopped onion in the pan and when it is poached, add the chopped parsley.
- We drain the oil from the poached onion and the parsley and mix it with the cod that we have reserved.
- We stir everything well and add it to the dough. We stir again to integrate well into the dough.
- In a frying pan we put olive oil to heat over medium heat. When it is hot we are taking tablespoons of dough and we are frying the cod fritters.
- Brown the cod fritters on both sides. We are taking out the fried cod fritters and putting them to drain the oil on a tray covered with absorbent paper or napkin.
- Once we have them all prepared, we transfer them to a clean tray and take them to the table to taste them.
The cod fritters can be served accompanied by a salad, white rice, a garnish of vegetables, cooked potatoes or mashed potatoes.
