I have to admit I’d never made pataniscas before. Which is, in part, a real shame, because it’s one of the most basic recipes in Portuguese cuisine. Unfortunately, I think they’ve fallen out of favor a bit—I’m not sure why, but even in Lisbon restaurants, it’s rare to see them on the menu.
This is one of those recipes our grandmothers and mothers used to make as a way to use up leftover cod. And as tradition dictates, they’re served with bean rice or tomato rice.
In a bowl, mix the cooked, flaked cod, eggs, flour, parsley, garlic, and onion until well combined. Gradually add water until the mixture becomes slightly thinner. Season with salt and pepper, add the turmeric at the end, and mix well.
In a frying pan or wok, heat the oil well and fry spoonfuls of the batter. Don’t let them get too thick; press them down with a fork to flatten them. Place them on paper towels to absorb the oil.
Serve with bean rice or tomato rice.
Enjoy your meal.
