Bakaliaros se Kourkouti – Crispy Cod in Beer Batter
Bakaliaros is a true cult dish in Greece. It combines the freshness of the sea with the rustic warmth of a golden-brown baked beer batter.
Why is this dish so healthy?
Cod is an excellent source of high-quality protein and contains essential Omega-3 fatty acids. It is also rich in iodine and selenium. Combined with olive oil and garlic, it supports the cardiovascular system and boosts the immune system.
What makes it special?
The secret lies in the Kourkouti (beer batter). The carbonation in the beer ensures that the batter rises lightly and aerated during frying, while the fish inside steams gently in its own juices, remaining tender.
Who is it for?
This dish is perfect for:
Lovers of Mediterranean cuisine.
Families (kids love the crispy texture!).
Anyone looking for a festive yet simple fish dish.
Recipe for 2 People
Ingredients:
400g Cod fillet (fresh or desalted)
150g All-purpose flour
200ml cold Greek beer
1 tsp Baking powder
A pinch of sea salt & pepper
Olive oil for frying
Lemon wedges for serving
Preparation:
Preparation: Pat the fish dry and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Batter: Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Slowly stir in the cold beer until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Frying: Heat olive oil in a pan. Dip the fish pieces into the batter and fry until golden brown (approx. 3-4 minutes per side).
Serving: Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with lemon.
Zero-Waste-Tip ????
Don't throw away the lemon peels! Grate the zest beforehand to freeze for dressings or baking. You can use the squeezed lemon halves mixed with vinegar as a natural cleaner for your kitchen surfaces.
Drink Recommendation ????
A Greek white wine with character, such as an Assyrtiko or a Moschofilero, pairs beautifully. The wine's acidity cuts perfectly through the crispiness of the batter. Alternatively, an ice-cold Greek lager beer is a classic choice.
