Spicy Fried Fish Balls Food

SPICY FISH BALLS. RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Wash and pat the fish dry with some paper towels. If you're using frozen (pre packaged) cod, give it a good squeeze as there's usually a lot of water in it. Then cut into chunks and place into a food processor. The entire recipe will be done in the food processor, but if you don't have one, don't fret. Simply chop the cod fish very fine and mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Give the fish a few pulses in the food processor and remember to scrape down the side so you get an even consistency. Then add all the other ingredients except the flour and the veg oil for frying. Please remember to chop the herbs very fine and crush the garlic. The scotch bonnet pepper should also be very fine and do remember to wear gloves when handling them. Additionally, wash your hands with soap and water immediately after handing. Pulse for a minute or two (remember to stop to scrape down), until you have a well mixed consistency. Now it's time to shape this into the small balls for frying. Take about a teaspoon full amount and roll in your hands to form the ball. Then toss in the flour (all purpose flour) to evenly coat the outside. This will help you get that lovely golden brown colour when fried. Be sure to do them all before you start to fry, as they will cook very fast. You can place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet so they don't stick as they await their turn in the hot oil Heat your oil on a medium/high heat and fry these for 3-4 minutes. I love using my wok for this as it maintains an even heat and with the high sides, I don't make a mess on the stove. Drain on paper towels and serve with one of the many sauces I've shared over the past few years. Check the recipe index for the tamarind sauce, there's the honey mustard mango sauce, the shado beni sauce and about 8 other spicy sauces there.

FRIED FISH BALLS FROM BRUSSELS

Steps:

• Mix the flour and salt with the oil and the beer, beating well together.
• Cover and leave in the kitchen, not the refrigerator or the cool larder, until required.
• This gives the batter a chance to ferment slightly, which improves its texture.
• Just before the batter is about to be used, beat the egg whites until stiff and fold in carefully.
• Remove any skin or bones from the cooked fish.
• Mash the boiled potatoes and mix the fish, potatoes, chopped garlic, herbs and the softened butter together.
• Add the egg yolks one at a time: the mixture should hold its shape and be neither too dry nor too liquid.
• Use only one egg yolk if this gives the right consistency, or the second egg yolk and a drop of milk if the mixture is too dry.
• Season to taste.
• Take a tablespoon of the mixture, roll between the palms of your hands, into a small ball: continue until all the mixture has been used up, flouring your hands from time to time.
• Using a fork, dip each ball in the batter and then plunge into hot fat.
• When brown and crispy, remove and serve with tomato sauce or mayonnaise.
