ACCRA
cookingwithria.com/2013/09/ri...
Accra or cod fish cakes are served as an appetizer or snack. It gets its unique flavor from salted cod that has been boiled or rinsed to remove the excess salt.
The accras can be formed into pillowy balls or patties and are ideal to bring to a party or barbecue. Full of Caribbean flavors in each bite, everyone will be going back for more.
Feel free to double, triple or quadruple the recipe.
Serving Instructions:
Serve warm or room temperature with raw mango chutney, tamarind chutney, kuchela or hot sauce.
Makes 9 cakes or many fritters.
6 oz salt cod (also known as salt fish, bacalao), skinless, boneless
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp instant yeast
¼ cup bell pepper, diced, any color
1 pimento pepper, optional
1 scallion, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons) or 4 leaves culantro
2 tbs green seasoning
1 tsp minced garlic
¼ cup finely diced onion
1 tsp thyme leaves
1 tsp brown sugar
Salt, to taste
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
About ½ cup water
Oil, for frying, about 2.5 cups
1. Rinse and soak saltfish for several hours or overnight. Rinse again with several changes of water until only a hint of salt remains. Squeeze out all liquid from the saltfish and chop into small pieces. Alternatively, the easier method is to rinse salt fish, place in a deep pot along with 4 cups water and boil for 10-15 mins, watching it carefully as it tends to overflow. Drain, place in a medium bowl and flake. To prep the seasonings, you can place all the fresh ingredients, roughly chopped into a food processor and pulse until coarse
2. To the bowl with the salt fish, add the remaining ingredients - flour, baking powder, salt, yeast, brown sugar, black pepper, peppers, scallion, green seasoning, garlic, onion and thyme leaves.
3. Using your hands(or spoon), mix together while gradually adding water, until you have a thick batter. Add more salt if the cod fish has no trace of salt after washing or boiling. Allow the batter to rest for 15-30 minutes.
4. Deep fried Fritters(balls): Heat 1-2 inches(of oil about 2.5 cups) in a frying pan over medium heat. Start by doing a taste test for salt. Using a one tablespoon measure or finger, scoop and drop batter into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side. Transfer to a paper towel lined platter. When cool, taste the fritter, adding more salt to the batter, if necessary. Repeat frying with the remaining batter.
5. Shallow frying - Round cakes: Heat ¼ inch oil in a frying pan or skillet. Working in batches (now using a ¼ cup measuring cup), scoop batter, drop into oil, flatten with a spatula and fry, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown and no longer raw on the inside. Do not overcrowd pan. Transfer to a paper towel or parchment paper lined tray or sheet pan. Instead of using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, you may also scoop and shape batter with your fingers into a round disc, then drop gently into oil.
Cooking Notes:
Add more oil as necessary in between batches and always make sure that the oil comes back to temperature.
Reduce the heat at any point the oil begins to smoke. I lower the heat while I am shaping the fritters and raise it to medium immediately after shaping.

I just can't thank you enough for your recipes. I look forward to when you post. Everything is always so clear and concise.
I'm so happy that I found your channel. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
My first experience was horrible but now I make it just like yours and tambran chutney
I used this recipe and it has now become my family's request for our birthday gatherings. They are deliciously packed with flavor- I spent about $15ttd in saltfish each time fried in about 1 cup of oil and got about 12-15 fritters for a family of five it is the perfect amount... my mum and dad scooped them up with my first attempt at Ria's pepper sauce yum yum.
Made my day. Thanks and happy to hear! 💕👍😀😍
Perfect timing. I was planning to mix some batter this weekend.
Hi Ria it’s always a pleasure watching your videos your Accra’s looks delicious to you and your family stay safe bye.

Boiling my saltfish now!
Not just any spoon but a wooden spoon. Nice recipe, like the use of thyme leaves
Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Lay a wooden spoon across the top of the pot, that prevents it from bubbling over… that’s what I do.
This looks so good. All your recipes are the best. I make your fry bake and phoulorie recipe all the time. So good! Perfect measurements.
One of my home's favourite..I can never make enough😁😁 unfortunately we don't get cod anymore..we get pollock. The texture is lighter and also not as salty so just a quick soak in hot water is enough. I usually leave the batter at least 1hour to rest before frying and I love it with tamarind sauce. The colour is beautiful as usual👍👍👌👌
This is way easier for me to make thank you so much Ria..🙏🤗
Delicious and great idea with the chutney. I have not had acra in many many years.
Exceptional Caribbean cook. Thanks for sharing
These look gorgeous. Yum 😋
Why no uploads Ria. Hope you are doing well!! Miss your videos 🙁
My mom never put green seasoning. I will give it a try and see what she says. But I’m almost 💯 she will enjoy this different taste. Thanks Ria ☺️

Love your method will definitely try it! Have u ever made salmon with this recipe or how about tuna fish?
Thanks for you video! And especially the frying tips! And different shapes ❤🌹🥰
Appreciate u always! Be safe 🙏
You could place a wooden utensil in the boiling water
😍
They look awesome. Would you please be able to tell me what the blended seasoning is? Thank you.
I made that today
You make cooking look so easy. So I’m encouraged to try. What type of oil do you recommend for frying?
Thank you. Vegetable oil.
Its a wood spoon that prevents it from boiling over
This is looking delicious. Do you have to let the batter sit to raise before frying? This isn't something that we are aware of in Guyana or at least I haven't heard of it . Please let me know as we will try it.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🇬🇾💯💯🙏
Thank you. Yes you should allow it to rest before frying for best results 30-60 mins. Hope you enjoy!
In Barbados we make our batter more loose and drop it by spoonfulls.
Excellent yummy snack! i must try it... can i use another type of fish like filet and bread crumbs instead of white flour
Bread crumbs won’t hold together too well. Totally different texture. Yes you can use any type of flaky fish or conch.
👍👍👍👍👍🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I think you have to place the pot spoon over not in the pot so it doesn't boil over. Great recipe though love your channel 💜
Thanks. Will give it a try!
@@CookingWithRia and it should be a wooden spoon
Can I order😩😂🤣 and have it sent to me

I have notice you ues a lot of sugar in most of your menus!!! Why is that?
There is 1 tsp of sugar in this recipe. You always have the option of eliminating if that’s too much for you.
