Yield Makes 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups leftover cooked risotto
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 Tbsp heavy cream
2 Tbsp minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, chives, oregano, or basil
1 large egg yolk
Salt and freshly ground pepper
5 oz mozzarella or Fontina cheese
All-purpose flour for dredging
Egg wash: 1 large egg whisked with 2 Tbsp cold milk or water
1 cup fresh white bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
2 cups tomato sauce

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the risotto with the Parmesan, cream, herbs, and egg yolk. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the cheese into 16 cubes. Scoop up about 3 Tbsp of the risotto mixture and pack it around a cube of cheese to make a croquette, a ball the size of a Ping-Pong ball. Repeat to form 16 croquettes.
  • Put the flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Dredge the croquettes in the flour, dip in the egg wash, and roll in the bread crumbs. Chill thoroughly, 2-24 hours.
  • Pour oil into a tall pot to a depth of 5 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it registers 375°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Deep-fry the croquettes in batches, without crowding, until they are evenly browned, 4-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer to paper towels to drain briefly. Serve on a pool of warmed tomato sauce.

Tips:

  • Use dried white beans. Dried beans are more flavorful and nutritious than canned beans. If you don't have any dried beans on hand, you can use canned beans, but be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
  • Soak the beans overnight. Soaking the beans overnight will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender. The beans should be tender but not mushy. If you are using a slow cooker, cook the beans on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours.
  • Mash the beans until they are smooth. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or a blender to mash the beans. If you are using a food processor or blender, be sure to do it in batches so that the beans don't become too pureed.
  • Add your favorite seasonings. You can add any seasonings you like to the bean mixture, such as garlic, onion, salt, pepper, or cumin. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or basil.
  • Form the croquettes. To form the croquettes, take a tablespoon of the bean mixture and roll it into a ball. Then, flatten the ball into a patty. You can also use a cookie cutter to cut the croquettes into different shapes.
  • Stuff the croquettes. Place a piece of mozzarella cheese and a slice of tomato in the center of each croquette. Then, fold the croquette over and pinch the edges to seal it. You can also use other fillings, such as cooked ground beef, sausage, or vegetables.
  • Bread the croquettes. Dip the croquettes in the beaten egg, then roll them in the breadcrumbs. You can also use panko breadcrumbs for a crispier coating.
  • Fry the croquettes. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Fry the croquettes until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  • Serve the croquettes. Serve the croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ketchup, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

White bean croquettes stuffed with mozzarella and tomato are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a potluck, and they can be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve them. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your croquettes are crispy, flavorful, and irresistible.
