Bolinhos de Bacalhau(Fried Salted Cod Fritters)
炸馬介休球


I went to Macau to visit a friend early this year.  Thank Jennifer for helping me to get a pack of frozen Bacalhau back.  In fact, Bacalhau is a kind of salted cod prepared in Portuguese style.

My hubby is not fond of eating fish especially the salted fish. He also rarely eats Bacalhau. He often feels that the Bacalhau tastes salty and fishy that he could not accept it.

In order to let my hubby enjoy the dish of Bolinhos de Bacalhau(Fried Salted Cod Fritters in Portuguese Style) together with me, I have added in one more ingredient to the dish to enhance the flavor of fish fritters.  What is it, it is a can of Chili Sardines imported from Portugal.  As expected, the fritters I made this time having a fantastic and outstanding taste, it is not overly salty and fishy, and my hubby commented it was the best fried salted cod fritters he has ever had so far. 

A pack of frozen Bacalhau weighs 200 grams, a can of chili sardines weighs 125 grams, I split them into two, and have prepared one more Portuguese dish, Bacalhau à Brás, I will talk about this egg dish next time.
年初去澳門探朋友, 得好友幫忙買了一盒急凍馬介休。 其實馬介休即是鹽醃鱈魚,萄式的多已經急凍。

外子一向不太愛吃魚尤其鹹魚,他也甚少吃馬介休,常覺得魚味鹹及帶腥。

為了讓他也吃我煑的炸馬介休球,我用了個變通的做法以帶起馬介休的魚味。今次用了急凍馬介休配萄國進口的罐装辣椒沙甸魚。大大提升了馬个休球的鮮味,外子更說這是吃過最好吃的炸馬介球。

一包急凍馬介休凈重200克,一罐辣椒沙甸魚凈重 125 克,我一分為二,多做了另一道萄國菜,馬介休絲炒滑蛋,這道菜下回再說。
