Cooking

20 minutes

  • 1 jar of smoked trout rillettes from Brittany Groix & Nature
  • 120 g flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 clove of garlic,
  • peeled 1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley
  • Juice of half a lime
  • 1 pinch of Groix chili powder
  • Salt, pepper
  • 12 cl water (adjust according to consistency)
  • Frying oil

For the accompanying sauce

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • A few sprigs of fresh dill
  • Salt, pepper

1. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and parsley. In a bowl, mix them with the smoked trout rillettes. Add the chili pepper, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Set aside.

2. Pour the flour into a mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Add half the water and start mixing. Then gradually add the remaining water until you obtain a semi-thick texture, similar to thick cream. Adjust if necessary with a little flour or water.

3. Add the rillettes and spice mixture to the batter, add the baking powder, and mix well one last time.

4. Heat a pan of oil to 170°C. Drop the batter into the hot oil by the teaspoonful. Fry until the accras are golden brown. Drain them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels.

Preparation of the lemon-dill sauce

In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche, lemon juice, finely chopped dill, a pinch of salt, and a twist of freshly ground pepper. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Plating

On a wooden board or large plate, arrange a bed of crisp salad greens. Add 4 accras per person. Serve the lemon-dill sauce in a small ramekin on the side for dipping each bite generously.

Serving tip

These accras can also be served in mini versions as appetizers. You can vary the herbs (cilantro, chives, etc.) depending on the season and your preferences.
