Portuguese Codfish Cakes Recipe

Portuguese Codfish Cakes

From gourmetana 12 years ago

The perfect side dish to this cakes is Tomato Rice It is a very traditional meal in Portugal. Photo: the codfish cakes are on the left.

Soak cod fish overnight. The next day pour off old water and add new. Let it soak for another hour or so, pour off this water. Put the fish in a pan and cover with water. Bring fish to a boil. If after the water boils the fish is still salty change the water and boil again. This depends on the thickness of the fish steaks.
Boil the potatoes until tender. Mash the cod and the potatoes together. Add the eggs, parsley, onion, and pepper
Shape into little baseballs using 2 tablespoons. See Photo
Fry the cakes in oil until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.

Lovely dish... I would like to try this but salt cod is hard if not impossible to get in the UK. I could try using fresh cod but obviously it would not be authentic... but I love fish cakes so much....
