Time 20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 19-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
9 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into about 42 1/4-inch cubes
12 sun-dried tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Vegetable oil for deep frying

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 one 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 about 365 degrees. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups drained cooked white beans (you may use other canned beans, Save a few tbsp of liquid when you drain the beans) or 2 cups canned white beans (you may use other canned beans, Save a few tbsp of liquid when you drain the beans)
1/2 cup onion, minced fine
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced or 2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
salt
pepper
hot sauce (I like about 2 tbsp to zip them up) (optional)
1/4 cup coarse cornmeal or 1/4 cup fresh breadcrumb
peanut oil

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.

Categories appetizer

Time 25m

Yield Twelve servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 19-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
9 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
About 42 1/4-inch cubes cold fresh mozzarella
About 42 1/4-inch pieces of sun-dried tomato
Vegetable oil for deep frying

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.

Tips:

Use canned or dried beans: Canned beans are a convenient option, but if you have the time, dried beans are more economical and have a better flavor. To use dried beans, soak them overnight in water, then rinse and cook them according to package directions.
Mash the beans until smooth: For a smooth and creamy croquette, mash the beans until they are completely smooth. You can use a food processor or a potato masher to do this.
Add seasonings and herbs to taste: The seasonings and herbs you add to your croquettes will depend on your personal preference. Some popular options include garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
Chill the croquette mixture before frying: Chilling the croquette mixture before frying will help them hold their shape better. You can chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Fry the croquettes in hot oil: When frying the croquettes, make sure the oil is hot enough so that they will cook through quickly. The ideal temperature for frying is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

White bean croquettes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect white bean croquettes every time.
