Ingredient Substitution Guide

directions

Step 1

Soak cod in water for 24 hours. Change the water frequently. Flake the salt cod into small pieces. It should be quite light and flaky. Fold the cod into the riced potatoes. Do not over work. Add the zest, herbs, shallot, coriander, lemon juice and eggs. Fold in baking powder, flour and ground pepper. The mixture should not be too wet.

Step 2

Cut 12 squares of parchment paper about 5 by 5-inches. Dust parchment with flour. Take a portion of the mixture and place it in the centre of parchment. Form dough into a round patty. With your finger make a hole in the centre creating a donut shape. Place cod donuts on baking sheet and refrigerate for 1/2 an hour.

Step 3

In a stockpot, heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. Remove donuts from fridge. Carefully drop the donuts off the parchment into the oil. Cook each side about 1 minute until golden brown. Place on paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with tartar sauce.

Step 4

Combine all ingredients except lemon juice. Just before serving add lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning. Makes about 1-1/3 cups.
