Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned white beans (cannellini or great northern)
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned white beans thoroughly.
In a medium bowl, mash the white beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some texture remaining.
Add the panko breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix everything until well combined.
Using your hands, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into small oval-shaped croquettes. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
Lightly dust each croquette with flour, shaking off excess flour.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the croquettes in the skillet, leaving some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
Cook the croquettes for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the croquettes warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
