Instructions
If you use salted cod: Soak cod in water for 24 hours, discard water and place cod in fresh water in a sauce pan.Simmer gently until fish flakes easily with a fork. Strain and reserve a small amount of broth. Debone cod and set aside.
Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add potatoes. Drain water when potatoes are tender. Mash cod ( or fillets ) and potatoes.
In a blender or food processor, combine tomato, green pepper, onion, garlic, red hot pepper sauce, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Blend for a few seconds, then pour over mashed fish mixture. Combine well and add egg to mixture.
If mixture is too dry, add reserved stock 1 tablespoon at a time until most enough to mold. Mold mixture into 1 inch balls and fry in deep oil until golden brown.
Alternative: add chopped parsley or coriander. Leftovers of mashed potatoes are perfect for that typical Caribbean lunch. Serve with tartar sauce and salad.
