Codfish fritters


Another great Easter dish (and easy to prepare) in Almería are the Codfish fritters more known here as  'tortos de bacalao'. For around 25 fritters you will need:
  • 1/2 Kilo (2,2 pounds) salted Codfish.
  • 4 or 5 green garlic stems.
  • 1 bunch of parley.
  • 1 big glass of soda.
  • Baking powder.
  • Baking soda.
  • 300gr (10 oz) of flour.

The previous night put the salted Codfish in water.

Once the Codfish is unsalted crumble it, and cut the green garlic and the parley. Put all together on a big bowl and add the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda and the soda glass.

Stir everything until you get a porridge like dough and leave it reposing during 2 hours.
