Pasteis de Bacalhau – Authentic Portuguese Codfish Cakes

Pastéis de Bacalhau – The Traditional Way

The traditional Pastéis de Bacalhau recipe calls for shredded salt cod, finely diced onions and garlic, combined with mashed potatoes and beaten eggs. To finish up, the dough is seasoned with plenty of finely chopped fresh parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Their torpedo shape, what chefs would call a quenelle, is created using two spoons of the same size. If you are looking for a slightly less traditional version of pastéis de bacalhau, you should check my Cod Cakes Stuffed with Cheese Recipe!
