Broodjes van bacalao

Buñuelos de bacalao is a savory version of the ubiquitous Spanish buñuelos fritters that uses dried salt cod. These soft and crispy snacks are typically prepared with a combination of desalted and flaked salt cod, flour, eggs, milk or water, and butter, and they are usually flavored with fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Other common ingredients used for making the dish include potatoes, baking powder, spring onions, garlic, vinegar or lemon juice, paprika, and turmeric. The salt cod mixture is typically shaped into balls, which are then deep-fried until nicely colored, puffed up, and crispy. In Spain, salt cod fritters are a staple at tapas bars throughout the country, and they’re usually enjoyed alongside dipping sauces such as aïoli, ajonesa, mojo verde, romesco sauce, yogurt sauce, or other mayonnaise-based sauces.
