About Croquetas de bacalao

Croquetas de Bacalao, or cod croquettes, are a traditional dish hailing from Spanish and Portuguese cuisine. These bite-sized snacks combine salted codfish, mashed potatoes or béchamel sauce, and aromatics like garlic, parsley, or onion. The mixture is shaped into small rolls or balls, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to golden perfection. High in protein from the codfish and offering a satisfying crunch, croquetas are a flavorful indulgence. However, the use of deep frying increases their fat and calorie content, making them richer in saturated fats. While they provide essential nutrients such as Omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, and Vitamin B12 from the codfish, moderation is key to balancing their nutritional value with their preparation method. Ideal as an appetizer or snack, Croquetas de Bacalao highlight the Mediterranean approach to combining simple, fresh ingredients into a culinary delight.
