Add a photoOne of the most ordered appetizers at my restaurant was our Spicy Fish Balls. These tender and light appetizers have a chuncky texture unlike other mushy type of seafood balls. They go great as a starter to a meal or just as a treat with your favorite beer or softdrink.
Ингредиенты
- 1 lb. white fish
- 2 large or 4 medium potatoes
- 1 1/4 cups coconut milk
- ¼ cup ginger grated
- 5 green onions
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp Cayenne
- 3 Tbsp chopped parsley or 1 ½ Tbsps dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- 2 eggs
- flour for coating
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- olive oil for frying
- salt to taste
- lemon wedges when serving
Инструкции
- 1. Rinse white fish under cold water, pat dry and cut into 1 inch pieces.
- 2. Boil potatoes skin on, cool and peel. In large bowl rough mash. Set aside.
- 3. Chop the green onions including 2 or 3 inches of the green blades. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan and sauté half of the onions. Add milk, ½ tsp of salt and heat to a simmer. Add fish and simmer on low for 5 to 6 minutes. If fish has bones remove them at this time.
- 4. Add fish mixture to mashed potatoes along with the remaining onion, parsley, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, ginger, 2 tbsp olive oil and lemon juice. Taste now before adding the egg to see if any more salt is needs.
- 5. Add 1 beaten egg to the mixture and gently mix then refrigerate until mixture firms â about 30 minutes.
- 6. Using three bowls beat 1 egg in one bowl, put ¾ cup flour and a 1 tsp of paprika in another and in the last bowl place 1 cup of breadcrumbs.
- 7. Take fish mixture from refrigerator and shape into golf sized balls.
- 8. Heat 1/2 inch olive oil into a frying pan.
- 9. While oil is heating roll each ball in flour then in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Fry over medium-high heat, until golden brown turning so as to brown all over.
- 10. Drain on a paper towel. Great with garlic mayo (âalioliâ) and/or tomato sauce ("sofrito").
- Variation: Step it up by substituting shrimp for fish. For shrimp shell, devein and cut into 1/4 pieces. Reduce cooking time from 5 to 6 mins to 2 to 3 minutes.
