List of Ingredients
- 14 OZ. of baccalà mantecato (salt cod spread)
- 3 of large eggs
- bread crumbs
- peanut oil
- salt
Method
1
Carefully combine the baccalà mantecato (whipped salt cod) with 1 egg and 1/2 cup bread crumbs. Season with salt if necessary. Divide into 22-24 portions. Mold each portion into a croquette shape. Beat 2 eggs in a shallow bowl, place bread crumbs in a second shallow bowl. Coat each croquette in the bread crumbs. Dip in the beaten egg and then again in the breadcrumbs, packing them down gently.
2
Heat the peanut oil to 340°F. When the oil reaches temperature fry the croquettes until golden, turning occasionally, around 5-6 minutes. Using a skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately, piping hot, sprinkled with a bit of salt if desired.
