Bolinhos de Bacalhau

this is my first try at trying to make these.
Bolinhos de bacalhau (cod fish pastry) more like a fritter.
There are other variations of these called “bolos de bacalhau) as well.

bolinhos de bacalhau

Start by soaking the bacalhau (salt cod) in water over night, boil then boil it & break up the cooked bacalhau into thin strings & let dry. I used on portion or serving.

thank you for visiting and your responses..
Bolinhoes de Bacalhau also go by Bolos de Bacalhau and Cod Fish Cakes in the US. It gives me great pleasure when someone tries out a recipe & succeeds in making it. There are so many recipes that we long for & took for granted when we were growing up. Most are simple to make..
Keep trying them, “This is what Cooking with DAD is all about.”
