Ingredients to make Hake Pavías:

  • 1 hack
  • 200 grams of flour

  • 1 small glass of water
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 handful of parsley
  • 1 tablespoon yeast dessert
  • 1 pinch of salt

How to make Hake Pavias:

  1. Cut the hake into similar pieces and salt to taste. We recommend removing the bones in advance so as not to find surprises when eating the hake pavias.
  2. In a bowl, we put all the ingredients to prepare the batter. Thus, we add the chopped garlic and parsley, the sifted flour with the yeast, the beer and a little water. We remove everything until we have a thick cream left. If necessary, add more water.
  3. Now that we have the dough to make hake pavias prepared, we introduce the fish cubes into it and cover them well.
  4. Heat a pan with plenty of oil and, when it is hot, fry the Pavia soldiers. To prevent them from sticking together, we recommend adding them in small batches. We are moving them so that they brown on all sides.
  5. We are removing the hake pavias when they are golden and put them on a plate with kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil. We repeat these steps until we have all the pieces of battered hake ready.
  6. We serve the hake pavias to enjoy them hot. We can accompany them with the sauce that we like the most, such as homemade mayonnaise or aioli.
