Salt cod balls

Directions

1. Drain and wash the salt cod and break into large pieces. Place in a pan, cover with water then bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the fish is tender.

2. Drain the fish and flake finely into a bowl (remove and discard any bones). Add the boiled cassava, parsley leaves, chillies and season to taste.

3. Mix the ingredients with your hands until all the ingredients are combined then shape into about 40 balls.

4. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 180°C. Roll the cod and cassava balls in seasoned plain flour then gently drop in the hot oil, in batches, frying for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown all over and cooked through.

5. Drain on kitchen paper as you cook the next batch.
