Cod Fritters

Cod fritters, my passion! Since I tasted Norwegian cod, freshly caught in Norway, I must say that my passion has grown considerably and rightly so, truly special! Use these cod fritters as an appetizer for a brunch or dinner with fish, perhaps prepare them small. I would say as a “finger food” guaranteed success. This morning at the fish market I bought a nice cod fillet, I was just thinking of cooking, but not the usual battered cod fillet. I also bought some fresh walnuts, now it’s the season, I’ll make a nice simple but tasty walnut pesto to dress a nice plate of paccheri. Check out my blog for my latest news. Speaking of frying, fish should be fried in extra virgin olive oil, which, together with peanut oil, are the only two oils that, despite high temperatures, naturally maintain the flavor and ensure good quality frying.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz desalted cod

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast for savory preparations
  • 7 oz extra virgin olive oil

Tools

  • Small Pot
  • Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Absorbent Paper

Preparation

  • Mince the cod flesh, season it with minced garlic and parsley. Mix the flour with the yeast, add the water and use the whisk to mix. Naturally, be careful not to form lumps.

  • Add the minced cod flesh to the batter, mix gently and let it rest for a few minutes.

  • Meanwhile, heat the extra virgin olive oil and fry spoonfuls of cod batter. One more idea could be using brewer’s yeast instead of dry yeast, but you would need to let the cod batter rest for at least thirty minutes.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
