    • 1 pound of ground pork, beef, or chicken
    • 5  large cloves of garlic, peeled
    • 8  bird’s eye chilies
    • 1 large shallot , peeled and roughly chopped
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    • Description
      1. If you have a mortar, pound together the garlic, chilies, and shallot until you get a coarse paste.
      2. In a skillet, heat up the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the paste to it and fry until fragrant.
      3. Add the meat to the skillet and break it up with the spatula into small pieces.
      4. Add the remaining ingredients (except the basil leaves), correcting seasoning as needed. 
      5. Once the meat is cooked through, check the amount of liquid in the skillet. If it’s too dry, add a little bit of water .
      6. Before taking the skillet off the heat, add the basil leaves to the mixture and give it a couple of stirs. We only want to wilt the basil with the residual heat that is still in the pan so as not to mute the fragrance of the fresh holy basil leaves.

Cod fish cakes

On 2012-08-28

accras-de-morue.jpg

Ingredients: (for 4 persons)

- 250 g of desalinated cod
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 hot pepper bird (or 1/4 of coffee spoon of hot pepper of Cayenne)
- Approximately 2 soup spoons of curly parsley
- 250 g of flour
- 2 eggs
- 5 cl of milk
- 1 bag of baking powder
- Salt

Description:
Preparation: 30 minutes
Rest: 10 minutes
Cooking: 30 minutes (5 minutes by bakeries)

To start with, it is necessary to make desalinate the cod. It is a fundamental stage not to be neglected if you do not want to find yourselves with doughnuts of salt.

Then, we begin by preparing the garlic. When we use of the garlic in cooking, it is always necessary to remove the germ (the part in the center ) what limits the bad long-term breath.

Normally you can put everything in the mixer (except the cod which I prefer to chop to part to verify that there is not a piece anymore).
I thus began with the peeled onion (with an onion, my mixer is almost full).

Then I added the garlic and I mixed the set.
I then added the curly parsley
And the hot pepper bird .
I put them in my mixer.

I emptied the set in a bowl and I took care of the cod that I mixed it several times to obtain a dough without piece.
Then I added it to the mixture and I indeed have to mix the set.

Then I pour the flour and the yeast.
Mix the set. We obtain a rather dry dough.
I finally added both eggs and milk.
Indeed mix and let rest 10 minutes.

With two coffee spoons which we quickly dip into the boiling oil, form small balls of dough which we bring down directly in the boiling oil (to cook them by bakeries from 5 to 8).
When accras are brown, remove with one skimmer
And mop with some absorbing paper.
Enjoy your meal!
