Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

  1. Carefully remove all the bones and skin from the cod. Cut the cod into cubes about 4 cm wide so they cook evenly.
  2. In a bowl, thoroughly combine 150 g of flour, 7 g of instant yeast and a pinch of salt so the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
  3. In another bowl, beat one whole egg with one tablespoon of honey and 125 ml of water for about 2 minutes, until smooth and foamy.
  4. Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Dip each cod cube in the prepared batter, making sure it is completely covered with an even coating.
  6. In a separate container, prepare honey water by mixing one tablespoon of honey with 250 ml of water. Reserve it for the end.
  7. Heat plenty of oil in a small frying pan to 190ºC; it should smoke slightly. Fry the battered cod cubes for 3-4 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  8. Once cooked, drain the cod cubes on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
  9. Arrange a base of dressed escarole on each plate and place the battered cod cubes attractively on top.
  10. Finally, use a silicone brush to coat the cod cubes with the reserved honey water, giving them a final sweet touch.
