Fried Salt Cod Recipe
Yield: 6 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs: Dried salt cod,
1 1/4 cup: All-purpose flour,
2/3 cup: Cold water,
1 pinch: Salt,
1/4 tsp: Baking powder,
Vegetable oil for frying,
Directions:
Cut the cod into 4-inch sections. Place in a glass or earthenware
bowl, cover with cold water, and soak overnight. The next day, drain
and discard the water. Put the cod in a pot and cover with cold
water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and lift out the
cod with a slotted spoon. Remove the bones and the black skin.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, water, salt, and baking powder
to make a thin batter. Dip the cod in batter and fry in hot oil
(about 1/2 inch deep) on both sides, then lower heat and cook until
tender, turning once again. Serve hot, with skordalia, which is cold
or room temperature.
Note: If the cod is excessively salty, change water 2 or 3 times
during the soaking period.
