Frittelle di baccalà
A real taste temptation. The crispy, soft and tasty cod fritters are a simple but delicious recipe, a real treat for the palate. Their origin is ancient and dates back to the time of the Republic of Genoa, when cod was one of the few fish that could be preserved for a long time due to salting. These fritters were mainly prepared during the Lenten period when the consumption of meat was forbidden.
Today, cod fritters have become a traditional Ligurian dish and are very popular as an appetiser, an aperitif or a main course.
Preparation
For the batter, combine the white flour with water and add the brewer's yeast, previously dissolved in warm water, and salt. Beat the eggs, add the batter and the pieces of codfish, then fry in hot oil. When the fritters are golden brown, drain and pat dry to remove excess grease.
