Cod meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that you can enjoy as an appetizer, starter or main course. Here is a basic recipe for cod meatballs:
Ingredients:
- 500 g desalted cod
- 2 eggs
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions:
- Crumble the cod: Start by crumbling the desalted cod, making sure to remove any remaining skin and bones. Finely chop the crumbled cod and place in a large bowl.
- Prepare the mixture: Add the beaten eggs, chopped onion, chopped garlic, breadcrumbs and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the crumbled cod. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix well: Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be compact enough to form meatballs, but still moist.
- Form the meatballs: With lightly moistened hands, form meatballs to the desired size and place on a tray.
- Fry the meatballs: Heat enough olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, fry the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Drain off excess oil: Once the meatballs are browned and cooked inside, remove them from the pan and place them on kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.
- Serve hot: Serve the cod meatballs hot, accompanied by a tomato sauce, aioli or any other sauce of your choice.
And that's it! Now you can enjoy these delicious cod meatballs as a delicious main dish or appetizer.
