About Croquetas de atun
Croquetas de Atún, or tuna croquettes, are a popular dish in Spanish and Latin American cuisine, celebrated for their creamy texture and savory flavor. These bite-sized croquettes are made with canned or fresh tuna, mixed into a thick béchamel sauce prepared from butter, flour, and milk. The mixture is seasoned with ingredients like onion, garlic, parsley, and sometimes nutmeg. Once shaped into small cylinders or balls, they are coated in breadcrumbs and fried to golden perfection. While rich in protein from the tuna, the béchamel and frying process contribute to a higher calorie and fat content, making them an indulgent treat rather than a health-conscious option. However, they also offer nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals from the tuna. To lighten the dish, consider baking instead of frying or using whole-grain breadcrumbs. Perfect as an appetizer or snack, these croquettes are comforting and full of flavor.
