SOFRITO FRIED FISH WITH GARLIC SHADO BENI SAUCE

Steps:

• Season cod pieces with Loisa Sofrito, sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Let marinate for 30 minutes and up to 4 hours in the fridge. 
• Meanwhile, heat a large cast iron pot or frying pan with oil on medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees on a candy thermometer. Alternatively, you can test the readiness of the oil with a peeled clove of garlic. Throw a piece of garlic into the pot - if it browns nicely and evenly, it is ready to fry.
• When ready to fry, place fish pieces on a plate lined with a paper towel to take off any excess moisture. The key to crispy fried fish is a minimal amount of moisture.
• In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss cod pieces into the flour mixture and shake off any excess flour.
• Submerge each piece in hot oil, careful not to overcrowd. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to catch any excess oil.

• Blend all ingredients together until combined.
