PRESENTATION

Fish meatballs are crispy and aromatic bites, made with good cod, bread, and a mixture of thyme and parsley. Just a spin of the blades in the mixer will give you the right consistency for the mixture. It's up to you to decide whether to make small meatballs, perfect as an appetizer with a fresh and spicy homemade sauce, or larger ones, like a classic meatball, to enjoy as a main fish dish accompanied by a seasonal vegetable side. Fish balls, which can be cooked both fried and baked, will also be loved by children... try the version with tuna and ricotta for them, easy and even more delicious!

Preparation

How to prepare Fish Meatballs

To prepare the fish meatballs, start by placing the bread crumbs in a mixer 1, blend finely 2, and put them in a bowl. Remove the bones from the cod fillets with the help of tweezers and chop them in the mixer for a few seconds 3.

Mix the chopped cod with the bread in a bowl 4. Wash and chop the parsley 5, then add it to the bowl 6 along with the thyme.

Season with the crushed garlic 7 and grated cheese 8. Then incorporate the two eggs 9.

Adjust with salt 10 and pepper. Mix well to combine everything 11 and form walnut-sized balls with about 30 g of mixture with your hands 12.

Place the meatballs on a tray as you go, you will get about 20-25 13. Then pass them in the flour 1415.

Fry the meatballs, 2 or 3 at a time, in well-heated vegetable oil, at about 340°F, for about 3 minutes. When the meatballs are golden, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon 16 and place them on paper towels 17 to dry the excess oil. Enjoy the fish meatballs hot or warm 18!

How to store

We recommend consuming the fish meatballs immediately.

Tips

Try them baked: cook them at 400°F in a convection mode for 25 minutes, making sure to turn them after 15 minutes for even cooking. Fry a few meatballs at a time to prevent lowering the oil temperature.
