Cod Cakes in Tomato Sauce, again
I followed the same recipe and chose cod again instead of other kind of fish like halibut. I needed 1 oz of fresh parsley and cilantro each. 1 oz, or 30 g sounded not much. I didn't buy parsley. Although our garden parsley might be not enough, I could add some oregano to fill, so there would be no problem. I thought. I was wrong. I washed and dried a small bunch of cilantro and picked leaves from the stems, chopped them and carefully putting on a digital scale. The scale said 0 oz. I add more. It still displayed 0 oz. Was the scale broken? No, it wasn't. After I made a Mt. Everest of cilantro leaves on the scale, it finally reached 3/4 oz. I didn't remember how much herbs were in the cakes. I managed to make 1 oz of cilantro, whereas parsley and oregano mix I gathered from the garden wasn't even close to 1/2 oz. The cakes looked pretty much green anyway, so I thought we won't miss the vacancy of some parsley.
