Ingredients

1/2 pound skinned and boned dried salt cod
1 pound medium potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Salt
Pepper
2 egg yolks
Solid vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Soak the cod in cold water to cover for 24 to 36 hours, refrigerated changing the water occasionally, drain. In a large saucepan, add the cod and potatoes, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain and cool. Skin the potatoes and pass them through a sieve into a bowl. Crumble the cod with the fingers, being sure no bones remain. In a mixing bowl, combine the potatoes and cod. Mix well. Add the garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the egg yolks and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the fryer. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the cod mixture into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, stirring occasionally for over-all browning. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the fried balls on a serving platter with the Allioli and the Sanfania Sauce

love cod fish balls
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

actually, you do not have to use salt cod. after living in lisbon, i found that all the bistros ( or what ever you want to... call the small cafes) had a platter of cod fish balls and toasted bread on the table when you sat down as a free munchie.. they were each made from the left over cod and bread from the previous day. you ate them and drank green (white ) wine and listened to the fado singers------glorious. a cheap and terrific entertainment. this is a pretty good recipe that i do for parties and play fado love songs.Read more
