SPANISH TUNA CROQUETTES RECIPE (CROQUETAS DE ATUN)

Steps:

• Heat up extra virgin olive oil and salted butter in a large skillet.
• Once the butter is melted, add a finely diced, medium sized white or yellow onion. Stir frequently until the onions start coloring.
• Add five tablespoons of flour and stir frequently until the mixture has a golden color.
• Add one and a half cups of whole milk and stir to work out the lumps
• Add tuna, pepper, nutmeg and sea salt.
• Mix everything well until the mixture becomes really thick.
• Pour the dough into a large bowl and let it cool down to room temperature. Afterward, cover the bowl with plastic wrap directly on the dough and store it in the fridge for at least four hours, or even better overnight!
• Once the croquette dough is cold start forming the croquettes and cover them one by one in flour, then eggs, and then bread crumbs.
• Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a skillet and start frying the croquettes. Don't forget to turn them around so that they get evenly brown on all sides. That should take around five minutes.
• Remove the croquettes from the pan and drain them on paper towels.

TUNA CROQUETTE

Steps:

• Place the tuna, onions, mustard, eggs, lemon juice, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine. Divide the mixture into 8 rounds and set aside on a parchment lined half sheet pan. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Place the remaining bread crumbs into a pie plate. One at a time, coat each round in the panko on all sides.
• Heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the croquettes and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove to a cooling rack set over a half sheet pan lined with paper towels. Allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
