1.Bring milk and bay leaves to a simmer in a pan over low-medium heat. Add cod and cook until tender (8-10 minutes). Drain, discard bay leaves and milk, then flake cod, discarding bones. Process in a food processor until finely shredded and set aside.

2.Bring olive oil and 200ml water to the boil in a pan. Add flour, lemon rind and cumin and stir over high heat until thick and smooth (1-2 minutes). Remove from heat, add eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add salt cod, mix to combine and set aside.

3.For mojo verde, combine all ingredients in a bowl and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Refrigerate until required.

4.Preheat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large deep saucepan to 190C. Form salt cod mixture into quenelles using 2 dessert spoons and fry in batches until golden (8-10 minutes). Makes about 20. Serve with mojo verde.
