This traditional recipe is from Senegal, on the western coast of Africa. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons water |
3/4 teaspoon chili powder, divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2 large eggs |
1 slice white bread |
1 lb cod, chopped (or other flaky whitefish fillets) |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup prepared seafood cocktail sauce |
Directions:
1. Combine water, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, salt, pepper, and eggs in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
2. Place bread in a food processor; pulse 5 times or until coarse crumbs measure 1/2 cup. Add 2 tablespoons egg mixture, fish, parsley, and garlic; process until a thick dough forms. Shape dough into 16 (1-inch) balls.
3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge fish balls in flour and dip in remaining egg mixture. Add fish balls to pan; sauté 10 minutes or until browned on all sides, turning frequently.
