Fried gefilte fish: a Chanukah miracle

Ingredients

• 1 loaf gefilte fish, defrosted
• vegetable oil, for frying
• fine sea salt
• mayonnaise, paprika, chopped fresh dill, and caviar, for serving

Directions

Roll the defrosted loaf of gefilte fish into small balls, around the size of golf balls.

Heat 3cm of oil in a nonstick frying pan and gently drop the balls into the oil. They’ll begin to bubble and, once golden brown, use a fork or spatula to flip them to brown on the other side.

Remove the fried gefilte fish balls to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with fine sea salt while still hot.

Serve with mayo on the side and a dusting of paprika, sprinkle of dill, and dab of caviar.
