Method
Preparation
- 1
Cook the Green Peas
In a pot of boiling water, add the green peas and cook for about 5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
- 2
Sauté the Aromatics
In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- 3
Mash the Peas
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked green peas and sautéed onion mixture. Mash them together using a fork or a potato masher until well combined but still slightly chunky.

Frying

Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Form the Croquetas
Using your hands, shape the pea mixture into small balls or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
- 7
Fry the Croquetas
Carefully place the formed croquetas into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the croquetas with a slotted spoon and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
