Ingredients
- Cod fillet400 g
- Chickpeas (precooked)200 g
- Breadcrumbs2 tablespoons
- Parsley2 tablespoons
- Eggs1 u (60 g)
- Garlic1 clove
- Black pepperto taste
- Peanut oilto taste
- Fine saltto taste
Procedure
0. Steam the cod or boil it in lightly salted water until it's fully cooked. Let it cool, then shred it finely.
1. In a blender, blend the chickpeas until smooth. In a large bowl, mix the shredded cod with the chickpea paste, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
2. Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round meatballs. Roll the meatballs in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
3. Heat plenty of oil in a pan. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the meatballs touch it. Fry the meatballs in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the oil with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
4. Tip: Be sure to cook the cod until it's flaky; this helps achieve the right consistency for the meatballs. For a lighter version, you can bake the meatballs at 200°C (400°F) until golden brown, instead of frying them. Serve the meatballs with a sauce of your choice, such as tzatziki or fresh tomato sauce.
