Re: Salt Cod
In Jamaica, Codfish (saltfish) Is Used In Many Dishes. My Personal Favourite Is "stamp And Go" Which Is Codfish Fritters. They Are Eaten As Hors D'oeuvres Or Can Be Served For Breakfast.
Stamp And Go Ingredients
1/2 Lb. Salt Codfish
1/2 Lb. All Purpose Flour
2 Medium Onions Diced
2 Medium Tomatoes Diced
2 Cloves Garlic
1/2 Scotch Bonnet Pepper Minced
2 Stalks Escallion
1 Small Sprig Thyme
2 Tbsp. Oil
2 Tsp. Baking Powder
Pinch Black Pepper
1/2 Cup Water
Oil For Frying
1. Soak Codfish, Preferably Overnight. Drain, Rinse In Cold Water And Flake The Fish Removing Skin And Bones. If Unable To Soak Overnight, Boil Codfish For 10 Minutes, Drain And Boil Again For 5 Minutes.
2. Saute In 2 Tbsp Oil The Onion, Garlic, Escallion, Thyme, Tomatoes And Peppers. Drain Off Oil And Cool.
3. Add Seasoning To Codfish And Set Aside.
4. Add Baking Powder To Flour. Add Codfish To Flour.
5. Add Enough Water To Make A Medium Batter.
6. Fry A Tbsp Of Batter Mix In 1/2 Inch Hot Oil Until Golden Brown.
7. Drain On Paper Towel And Serve Hot.
