Cod fillet roasted in battered vodka - recipe
Vodka, though it does not add a new taste to the brandy, will significantly improve its texture and baking (alcohol evaporates).
Ingredients:
- cod fillets - 600 g;
- Chicken egg - 2 pcs .;
- vodka with a neutral taste - 1-3 tsp.
- wheat flour - how much will it take;
- Ground spices (pepper black cumin, coriander, cloves);
- salt - 1 pinch;
- vegetable oil.
Preparation
It would be nice to dry the cod fillets with a clean cloth, since after defrosting it is wet. We cut the fillet into large portions.
In a separate bowl, mix eggs with vodka, add spices and salt. Little by little adding sifted wheat flour, kneading it with a whisk or fork. The consistency of the dough should be approximately like a yoghurt of medium density. It is better to whisk the clay by hand, you can mixer at low speed. Beating should be carefully, but not too long and intensive, excessive puffiness is not needed.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. We immerse the fillet of cod into the stew and fry it with a coup over medium heat. Then reduce the fire and bring the fish to readiness, you can cover the frying pan with a lid. Pieces of fillet of cod in batter are prepared in a frying pan very quickly, that is, for 5-6 minutes on each side. Do not overcook fish.
Serve cod in batter with potatoes or rice. We make a dish with herbs. It is also good to serve some vegetable salad and delicate sauce, for example, creamy garlic and a glass of light beer. Rye bread.
Frying in a frying pan is not the healthiest way of cooking. It will be much more useful to bake fish in batter.
