White Bean Croquettes Recipes

WHITE BEAN CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200°F.
• Mash the beans, but do not puree, have a few lumps in here, add a bit of bean water if necessary to even out.
• Combine the beans, onion, parsley, egg salt& pepper.
• Add crumbs (I like the crumbs best) or cornmeal by the tbsp until you have a batter that you can handle by hand. Shape into hamburger shaped patties and fry in lightly sprayed oil coated pan, 3-5 minutes each side or until browned on each side. Keep warm in the 200°F oven until all are cooked or you could serve at room temperature.

WHITE BEAN CROQUETTES STUFFED WITH MOZZARELLA AND TOMATO

Steps:

• Puree the beans, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor. Stir in 9 tablespoons of bread crumbs and refrigerate several hours, until firm.
• Form the mixture into balls, using a slightly rounded tablespoon for each one. Press 1 piece of mozzarella and 1 piece of tomato into the center of each and reshape into a ball. Coat with the remaining bread crumbs.
• Working in batches, deep-fry the balls until nicely browned (it is important to keep the oil around 365 degrees). Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
