Bunuelos de Bacalao, or cod fritters, are a staple in Spanish and Latin cuisines, celebrated for their rich flavor and crispy texture. Made by blending salt cod with ingredients like mashed potatoes, eggs, flour, garlic, and parsley, these fritters are deep-fried to golden perfection. Traditionally served as a tapa or appetizer, they offer a satisfying combination of protein and carbohydrates. The salt cod provides lean protein and essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins. However, due to the frying process, the dish can be higher in fat and calories, making moderation key for those watching their intake. Bunuelos de Bacalao can also be customized for healthier options, such as baking instead of frying. Perfect for sharing, they bring a delightful taste of the Mediterranean while balancing indulgence with nutritional benefits when enjoyed responsibly.
