Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 cup Salted Cod (soaked and shredded), 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon Baking Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Scotch Bonnet Pepper (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons Green Onion (chopped), 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme Leaves, and 2 cloves Garlic (minced). Stir these ingredients together until they are well mixed.
2. 2In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk and 1 Egg until they are fully combined and smooth.
3. 3Pour the whisked 3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk and 1 Egg from the medium bowl into the large bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a spoon to mix everything together until the batter is just combined and no dry streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix the batter.
4. 4Pour the 2 cups Vegetable Oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Place the pot over medium-high heat and heat the oil until it reaches a temperature of 175°C. Use a kitchen thermometer to verify the temperature.
5. 5Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of the accra batter into the hot 175°C oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the accras for 3 to 4 minutes, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon to ensure even cooking. The accras are done when they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Use the slotted spoon to remove the cooked accras from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. 6While the accras are frying, prepare the mango salsa. In a separate medium bowl, combine the 1 Ripe Mango (diced), 1/4 Red Onion (finely diced), 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped), and 2 tablespoons Lime Juice. Stir gently with a spoon until all ingredients are well mixed.
7. 7Serve the hot saltfish accras immediately, with the mango salsa served alongside them.
