Cod Accras Recipe

Ingredients:

• 500g cod fillet, skinned and deboned
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan to 180°C.
2. Cut the cod fillet into small pieces and place them in a food processor along with the onion and garlic. Pulse until well combined and smooth.
3. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add the egg and milk to the dry mixture, whisking until smooth.
5. Add the cod mixture to the mixing bowl and combine with the wet ingredients. Mix well until the batter is smooth and uniform.
6. Using two teaspoons, shape the batter into small balls and drop them gently into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cod accras from the oil and drain on a paper towel. Serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions:

Cod accras are best served hot, right after they come out of the fryer. They pair perfectly with a creamy garlic or tartar sauce. You can also serve them with a refreshing tropical fruit salad on the side.
