How to Make Sardine Fritters From Molto Mario
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 (4 ounce) can sardines (drained), 2 large eggs, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1-2 small pepperoncini (finely chopped, adjust to taste), 1 cup breadcrumbs, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Gently stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until just combined; do not overmix or mash.
- Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
- Fill a deep pot about halfway with olive oil (approximately 2 inches).
- Heat the oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Maintain the oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) throughout the frying process.
- Using a spoon, form the sardine mixture into small, semi-ball-shaped fritters (about 1-inch in diameter).
- Carefully add the fritters to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Work in batches if needed.
- Fry the fritters for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the cooked fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Repeat steps 8-10 until all the fritter mixture is cooked.
- Serve the hot fritters immediately, garnished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Enjoy!
