Yucca, boiled and mashed43.0 g
Scotch Bonnet pepper, finely minced1g
Onion, finely diced8.3 g
Garlic, minced1 g
Scotch Bonnet hot pepper sauce12.7 g

Instructions

1

Begin by soaking the salt cod in cold water for 24 hours, changing the water multiple times to remove excess salinity, then poach until tender and flake into fine pieces.

2

Boil the yucca until fork-tender, drain, and mash thoroughly while still warm to remove any fibrous center strands.

3

In a bowl, fold the flaked cod into the warm yucca mash. Incorporate the finely minced onion, garlic, and fresh Scotch Bonnet pepper, ensuring the aromatics are evenly distributed.

4

Shape the mixture into small, bite-sized rounds.

5

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and sear the fritters until the exterior forms a golden, crisp crust that crackles when touched.

6

Serve warm, drizzled with a small amount of Scotch Bonnet hot sauce for a bright, fiery finish that cuts through the starch.
