FLOUNDER BALLS


Fish for today. We will cook fish in a different way. They are delicious and easy to make. I will serve them with a tomato sauce but you can do it with the sauce you want. Let’s cook.

Ingredients:

2 fillets of flounder (or a similar fish)
1 boiled potato and then mashed
1 egg
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 chopped shallots
1 teaspoon parsley
½ teaspoon turmeric
Salt to taste
Some freshly ground pepper to taste
½ dry chili (optional)
Some flour
Some extra virgin olive oil
Some tomato sauce

The first thing we will do is blending the fish in a food processor. We have to get like a fish paste. Then, we will put the fish in a bowl and will add the mashed potato, the egg, the garlic, the ginger, the shallots, the parsley and the turmeric. Mix well all this. Then we will add some salt and pepper to taste. Add the dry chili too, seeded and cut in little pieces.
The next step will be to shape the fish balls. We will do this with the help of some flour. Once they are made, we will fry them in a frying pan with hot oil. When the fish balls are brown, we will leave them on kitchen paper towel to get rid of some oil. You can serve them with the sauce you prefer. This time I will serve them with tomato sauce. Put the fish balls in a frying pan with the tomato sauce and let them simmer for some minutes.
Serve hot. Enjoy!
