Bolas de Bacalhau
Recipe type: Entree
Bolas de Bacalhau is a Portuguese food recipe for codfish balls.
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb dried salted cod-bacalhau
- 2 cups water
- 1 small onion, minced fine
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 cups potatoes, boiled, peeled and mashed
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp parsley
- 2 eggs, beaten with a pinch of salt
- 1 cup cornmeal
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Wash cod and soak in cold water overnight, changing the water at least twice.
- Drain and discard water. The cod should feel soft. Discard any bones and skin.
- In a saucepan, bring water, onion, and bay leaf to a simmer. After 5 minutes, add the fish. Ensure the water covers the fish. As soon as it has simmered, cover and remove from heat.
- Let cool briefly.
- Drain the fish and pound in a mortar to separate the flesh into fine shreds.
- Add mashed potatoes, seasoning, parsley, and half the eggs. Add some cornmeal if the mixture is too moist.
- Shape cod mixture into round balls about 1-inch thick.
- Heat oil to moderate heat for deep frying in a frying pan. Fry a few at a time until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
