Method

  1. 01

    Boil and flake the cod

    Put the cod in a saucepan and cover it with cold water. Bring to a boil and boil for 20 minutes; drain. Return it to the saucepan, cover with fresh water, and repeat the process twice more. Flake it into large pieces with a fork.

    Ready to continue when: The cod has been boiled three times, with fresh water for each boil, and is flaked into large pieces.

  2. 02

    Cook the potatoes in the broth

    In a pot, bring the wine, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the black peppercorns, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, carrot, the intact onion half, and 5 cups of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, add the potatoes, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until tender. Drain and let them cool; then peel and mash them.

    Ready to continue when: A fork slides easily into the potatoes; they are drained and cooled before peeling and mashing.

  3. 03

    Mix, shape, and chill the fritters

    Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced onion half and garlic; cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until golden. Mix them into the cod with the potatoes, chervil, and butter. Shape the mixture into 10 balls of about 57 g each, roll them in the flour, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

    Ready to continue when: The mixture holds together; there are 10 balls of about 57 g each, lightly coated in flour and chilled for 20 minutes.

    6 min
