Red mullet fritters (accras)

Ingredients

• 400 g of cleaned red mullet fillets
• 100 g of ground apples
• 120 g of flour
• 1 egg
• 4 tablespoons of milk
• 1 clove of garlic, crushed
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• Cayenne pepper, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, and frying oil

Mix 100g of flour with the egg, then gradually add the milk to create a soft dough. Season with salt and pepper, and let it rest for at least two hours.

Peel the potato, boil it in salted water, drain it, and mash it with a fork.

Combine the flaked fish, mashed potatoes, onion, garlic, and cayenne pepper, then incorporate everything into the dough.

Lightly flour your hands with the remaining flour and form small balls.

Submerge them in the hot oil of the deep fryer and remove them as soon as they are nicely golden brown.

Serve it hot, with a warm or cold tomato sauce.
