Croquetas

Method

Croquetas Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in milk, then add shredded chicken, peas, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Form the Croquetas

    Once the filling is cool, shape it into small logs or balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Coat and Fry

    Beat the eggs in a bowl. Dip each croqueta in the egg and then roll in crushed chicharron to coat. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry croquetas in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Citrus Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine segmented citrus, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Toss gently to mix.
