Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

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:
