Salt Cod Fritters with Honey, Sesame and Lemon Dip

Ingredients

• 500 g salt cod, soaked overnight and drained
• 400 g floury potatoes
• 4 spring onions
• 1 egg
• 80 g plain flour
• 2 tbsp runny honey
• 2 tbsp tahini
• 100 ml olive oil

Method

1. 1

   Boil the potatoes until tender, drain, and mash. Simmer the soaked salt cod in fresh water for 10 minutes, then drain and flake, checking for bones.

2. 2

   Finely slice the spring onions. Combine the cod, mashed potato, spring onions, and beaten egg. Season with pepper — the cod will already be salty. Shape into 12 small patties.

3. 3

   Dust the patties in flour, shaking off the excess.

4. 4

   Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the fritters in batches for 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

5. 5

   Whisk together the tahini, honey, lemon juice, and a splash of water to make a dipping sauce. Serve the warm fritters alongside.
