Cod Corn Fritters W Garlic White Sauce Recipes

COD FRITTERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a pan and saute the garlic, celery and onions until soft. Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet to cool.
• Blanch the potatoes in salted water until almost soft. Transfer half of the potatoes to a baking sheet to cool. Mash the other half of the potatoes, and then let cool.
• Toss the cod with 1/4 cup of the oil and the pepper and sprinkle with salt. Bake the cod until cooked through and turns from opaque to bright white, 5 minutes. Let cool.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or skillet to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the mayonnaise, dill, parsley, egg yolks and lemon juice in a large mixer. Mix in the onion mixture and the mashed potatoes until well incorporated. Add the fish and diced potatoes and mix again until the fish is broken up and well incorporated.
• Form the mixture into 2-ounce balls. Pour the breadcrumbs onto a plate and roll the balls in the breadcrumbs. Fry in batches until golden crisp, about 4 minutes.

EASY COD FISH FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat oil in skillet. Saute red pepper, onions, garlic, scallion and hot pepper sauce for about 2 minutes. Drain vegetables using a mesh strainer and allow to cool slightly. Place vegetables in a bowl and add egg, milk, and flaked fish.
• Mix flour and baking powder. Slowly add it to the fish mixture, a little at a time to make a medium batter.
• Deep fry by teaspoons in a small amount of hot oil for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Do in batches. Drain on paper towels and serve.

PORTUGUESE-STYLE SALT COD FRITTERS WITH LEMON AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Starting a day ahead, soak the dried cod in cold water for 18 to 24 hours, changing the water several times to remove the majority of the salt. Drain the cod, rinse, and put it in a large pot. Add the milk, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and enough water to cover the cod by 1 inch; cooking the cod in milk keeps it very moist. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, or until the cod is tender and pliable. Drain (discard the milk) and rinse the fish well, then flake it into a bowl, removing any little bits of skin and bone.
• While the cod is cooking, put the potatoes in a pot with water to cover, bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender. Drain the potatoes, peel, and mash them well into a bowl with a potato masher, or pass them through a ricer or sieve.
• Add the cod to the bowl with the potatoes, along with the onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, and eggs. Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until it's really well combined and stiff; a spoon should stand up in it. (if it's too dry, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk.) Season with a pinch of pepper and taste for salt - you probably won't need to add any, as the cod itself is still salty in spit of having been soaked and boiled.
• With lightly moistened hands or using two tablespoons, shape the cod mixture into egg-shaped balls - you should get about 25. (The cod balls can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day before cooking, or frozen in a tightly covered container for several weeks.)
• Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep, heavy skillet or pot to 370°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add a few of the fritters to the oil and cook, turning them three or four times to get them nicely browned all over. Carefully lift them our of the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on a platter lined with paper towels. Keep going to cook all of the fritters. Taste one and, if needed, sprinkle with salt while the fritters are still hot. Serve hot or at room temperature with a pile of olives and lemon wedges.

SWEETCORN FRITTERS WITH CHIPOTLE COD

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and flour together until smooth. Stir through the corn, spring onion and some seasoning.
• Heat half the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan. Pour in the batter and fry over a medium heat for 3 mins on each side until golden.
• Heat the grill to high. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and cook the garlic and tomatoes for 5 mins. Stir through the chipotle and the lime juice and zest.
• Meanwhile, cook the fish on a baking tray under the grill, set to medium-high and cook for 3-4 mins on each side.
• Slice the corn fritter into four and divide between two plates. Sprinkle over the coriander and serve with the fish and chipotle tomatoes.

COD CORN FRITTERS W/ GARLIC WHITE SAUCE

Steps:

• Scrub and wash potatoes and put on to boil. While the potatoes are boiling, chop fresh herbs and set aside. Prepare dredging flour ingredients and set aside. Remove packaging from Cod Fillets and place in steamer basket of choice. Microwave (as I did for 6 minutes) or steam for 8-10. Let cool till able till handle and flake w/ a knife and fork (and fingers highly recommended)
• Once the potatoes have boiled, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Then let sit for a minute or so. Once almost cooled you can check this my immersing a knife/fork and feeling w/ your fingers to see if their still hot, if their too hot, wait a minute, if you can tolerate the heat, then start working).
• First, take the 2 potatoes, dice up and add to the food processor, add the garlic, and pulse, add the salt, the oil and vinegar... pulse till completely pureed, then finally add the fresh parsley. Taste for seasonings. Pour the garlic sauce in a pretty bowl of choice and set in refridgerator to chill.
• In a separte bowl, add the now almost cooled potatoes and start mashing (take out your frustration I say), add the rest of the ingredients.
• Lastly add the seasoned corn and stir till well incorporated.
• Now start rolling the mixture into balls using an ice scream scoop and your lovely fingers! (note, I make all my balls at once, then start heating the oil then start dredging)
• Place oil in pan (or use a deep fryer of choice), to about 2". Heat the oil to hot.
• While the oil is heating, dredge the cod balls first into the flour, then the egg mixture then the seasoned bread crumbs. Place the cod balls into the hot oil and lower the heat just a smidgen.
• Brown on all sides and remove from heat, and lay on paper toweled lined plate. Season w/ salt. Finish the rest of the fritters.
• Serve the fritters w/ the white garlic sauce and veggie of choice for entree, or on toothpics w/ a cube of crusty bread for appetizers.
• ****Don't forget to double the sauce, this sauce is highly addictive**** Enjoy!
