Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 grams Chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Lemon
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by patting the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Cut them into small pieces and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled onion and garlic mixture with chopped parsley. Add in the cod pieces and mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add them to the cod mixture. Stir to combine.
Mix together the chickpea flour and baking powder. Gradually add this to the cod mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the mixture and stir to incorporate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a tablespoon to drop fritter batter into the oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each fritter for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fritters hot, garnished with extra chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
