Ingredientes
250 g desalted cod
- For the dough:
1 c.c. baking powder
150 ml milk
Chopped parsley
100 g fresh spinach
Olive oil
140 g flour
1 large egg
2 lemon slices
1 bay leaf
0,5 c.c. smoked or hot paprika
2 parsley sprigs
Pasos
- For the dough:
- In a large bowl, sift flour together with baking powder. Form a volcano in the center and incorporate large egg and gradually milk, whisking constantly until obtaining a homogeneous dough without lumps. If necessary, adjust the consistency by adding a little more milk. Let the dough rest for 1 hour to allow the flavors to integrate and the yeast to act.
- Cod cooking:
- Place cod in a small pot along with bay leaf and parsley sprigs. Cover with enough olive oil and bring to low heat. Cook gently for 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the heat, allow to cool and then carefully flake the cod, removing any bones.
- Preparation of spinach:
- Wash fresh spinach and sauté briefly in a pan with a little olive oil until wilted. It is important to drain them well to remove excess water and then coarsely chop them.
- Forming of the fritters:
- Add the shredded cod and chopped spinach to the previously prepared batter. Add chopped parsley to taste. Mix all ingredients well.
- Frying:
- Heat plenty of olive oil in a skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Form small portions of the mixture, lay them slightly flat and fry them in batches. The fritters should turn golden brown and crisp on the outside, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve:
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess fat. Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by lemon slices.
Notas
- Serving the fritters on a bed of greens or with a touch of aioli sauce (garlic mayonnaise) can elevate their presentation and complement their flavors. Although these fritters are excellent on their own, they can also be enjoyed with a variety of sauces. Aside from aioli, you can also accompany them with a tartar sauce, a tomato chutney, or even a spicy sauce for those who prefer an extra touch of flavor.
- If you have leftover fritters, store them in the refrigerator and consume them within 2 days. Reheating them in the oven or toaster will restore much of their crunchy texture. >
- The fritters can also be frozen once fried. Place them on a tray without touching, freeze them and then transfer them to a freezer bag. To reheat, bake them straight from the freezer until hot and crisp.
