🧂 食材
- 1 lb Salted cod (Bacalao)(soaked and desalted, then flaked)
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1.5 cups Water(or more, as needed for batter consistency)
- 3 tbsp Sofrito(homemade or store-bought)
- 0.25 cup Cilantro(finely chopped)
- 0.5 medium Onion(finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 tsp Adobo seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil(for frying)
- 1 lime Lime wedges(for serving)
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Soak the salted cod in cold water for at least 24 hours, changing the water several times to remove excess salt. Drain, rinse, and flake the cod into small pieces.
💡 专业技巧: Taste a small piece of the cod after soaking to ensure it's not too salty. - 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Add the flaked cod, sofrito, chopped cilantro, chopped onion, minced garlic, adobo seasoning, and black pepper to the dry ingredients.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Gradually add water, mixing until a thick but pourable batter forms. It should be thick enough to hold its shape but loose enough to drop from a spoon.
💡 专业技巧: The consistency should be similar to pancake batter, but slightly thicker. - 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
⏱️ 10 minutes - 6
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes - 7
Remove the bacalaitos from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lime wedges.
💡 专业技巧: Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
