Ingredients

  • 8 ounces salt cod
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 onion small, chopped
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lemon thyme chopped
  • 1 scotch bonnet chili pepper seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • vegetable oil for deep frying
  • chutney
  • salad greens

Method

  • Soak salt cod overnight in water, changing water at least once. Drain; rinse. Place in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 mins. Drain; flake, discarding skin and bones.
  • Mix eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Place flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Add egg mixture; mix well. Add cod, onion, green onions, cilantro, thyme, chili pepper and garlic; mix well.
  • Half-fill a deep skillet with oil and heat on medium heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Fry spoonfuls of mixture, in batches, for 3-4 mins. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with salad and chutney.
