Croquetes de Carne
A Croquete de Carne is a traditional Portuguese savory snack made from finely minced or shredded beef mixed with seasonings. This mixture is shaped into small cylindrical form, then coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried until they achieve a golden, crispy crust. The result is a crispy exterior encasing a tender, flavorful meat filling. Croquetes de Carne are a beloved Portuguese appetizer or snack, another example of the rich culinary heritage of Portugal.
Pastel de Bacalhau
Pastel de Bacalhau , or Codfish Cake, is a traditional Portuguese snack made from salted cod, mashed potatoes, onions, and eggs. The mix is shaped into small ovals or rounds and deep-fried until golden and crispy outside, soft and tasty inside. Loved for its salty cod flavor and fluffy texture, it’s a popular appetizer and bite-sized treat in Portugal.
Pastel de Nata
A Pastel de Nata is a traditional Portuguese tart that features a crisp, flaky pastry shell filled with a rich, smooth egg cream. It’s typically baked until the top is caramelized and slightly burnt, giving it a unique texture and flavor. This iconic Portuguese snack is enjoyed warm, often sprinkled with cinnamon or powdered sugar, and delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and buttery crunch, embodying centuries of Portuguese baking heritage.
We source the best Pastel de Nata in the UK through our partner De Oliveira Cafe.
