About Croquetes
Croquetes are small, breaded, and fried rolls typically made from a creamy mixture of ingredients bound together with béchamel or mashed potatoes. Popular in various cuisines, they are most commonly associated with Spanish, Portuguese, and French cooking. The filling often includes minced meat like chicken, ham, or cod, along with vegetables, cheese, or herbs for added flavor. While undeniably tasty, croquetes are a calorie-dense indulgence due to their frying process and rich béchamel base. They provide protein and some nutrients depending on the filling, but they can be high in saturated fats and simple carbohydrates. For a lighter version, baking rather than frying can reduce fat content. These appetizers or snacks are often served as tapas or enjoyed as comfort food, showcasing their versatility and deep cultural roots in Mediterranean cuisine.
