Instructions for Idas Fish Cakes

These arent salmon patties (although you could substitute salmon for the codfish, but Ive never tried that. I adore them just the way they are!). They are WONDERFUL! This is my grandmothers recipe... with a bit of an adaptation from me. The original is made with matzoh meal (matzoh made into crumbs)...if you cannot get that, Id think the closest substitution would be fat free/salt free saltine cracker crumbs. Some of the ingredients are left to judgement. But do give this a try. In a medium saucepan with a cover, place cut up vegetables. Lay fish on top, and sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon salt & pepper to taste. Pour enough water over this to just barely cover vegetables and just touch the fish. Bring water to a boil, lower heat to a simmer, cover, and simmer about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes until vegetables are soft and fish is cooked through. (Check during cooking....if water has cooked away, add some more so veggies & fish can steam and not burn). Drain and put fish/vegetable mixture in a large bowl. Let cool. Using a hand-held chopping utensil or potato masher, chop/mash fish mixture until mashed together. Add the ginger, the egg and matzoh meal (start with about 1/3 cup...add more in small handfulls until mixture is just firm enough to make into patties). Adjust seasoning with more salt & pepper and ginger if desired. Put additional matzoh meal into a flat plate or shallow bowl. Make fish mixture into patties and coat in matzoh meal. Fry in about 1/8 to 1/4" hot oil on medium heat, turning once, until lightly browned and cooked through. These are just as wonderful (even better, some say) cold the next day!
