Delicious Carp Fricadelles

[Numitokayo]

Hi folks,

Here is the Carp recipee i was talking about today.  It makes 4 portions, time to prepare is about 15 minutes, cooking time is 30 minutes.

Ingredients are:

6 peeled raw potatoes
1 1/2 pound of Carp fillets
1/3 cup of margarine or butter
1/4 cup of milk
1/2 oignon finely chopped
1 piece (stalk) of celery
parsley to taste
oignon salt and pepper to taste
1 egg - Beaten with a bit of milk
1/2 cup of bread crumbs

Step #1 :  Take the potatoes and boil them for approximately 20 minutes till tender.

Step #2 :  Put Carp fillets in a frying pan, cover with water and bring to a boil at high heat.

Step #3 :  Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a medium low medium heat and cook for 10 minutes at a low boil.

Step #4 :  remove fish from the frying pan and soak up as much water as you can with scotts towel and remove all visible bones.

Step #5 :  Drain the potatoes once they are cooked and add the milk and 2 spoon fulls of margarine or butter and mash potatoes well.

Step #6 :  take one spoon full of margarine of butter and put it is a frying pan.  Then add the oignons and celery, cook for approximately 5 minutes.  Do not let the celery and oignon brown, very important, you want the two ingredients to be translucent. Add the parsley, oignon salt and pepper.

Step #7 :  Now we mix the Carp, potatoes and celery and oignon mixture together.  This recipe makes 8 patties.  Don't worry if the patties are sticking in your hands a bit.

Step #8 :  Take each patty and soak them in the beaten egg and then in the bread crumbs and put them in a medium heat frying pan with the rest of the margarine or butter.  Let the patties cook for about 3 minutes on each side and they should be ready.
 
Depending on the different cooking stoves, don't flip patties if they are not golden brown, the  cooking time may vary from 3 minutes to 4 minutes on each side.

Enjoy

Daniel, this looks really good.  I'm going to try it with bass; don't have an carp.  I'll bet it would be great using salmon, too.

Al,

The only problem with these fricadelles are that they are addictive, every water hole I see, I imagine a fricadelle...OH NO...here I go again!!!!...LOL

Ah man, and if you try them with bass, hummmm, how far is that from Fort Simpson, we would sure come over and help ya make them..  

the trick is don't let them cook too long, they will dry out real fast.

Enjoy
