Shredded salt cod (bacalhau), cauliflower, eggs, onion, garlic, fresh parsley, olive oil for frying/baking, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure cauliflower is used instead of potato. Confirm no flour or breadcrumbs are used as binders (except for potential almond flour if a crispier exterior is desired, which would be minimal carbs).
