Description

These mussel croquettes are a delicious and creamy bite, perfect for any occasion. The recipe is simple, although it requires a bit of patience, but the result is worth it. Fresh mussels give it an intense sea flavor, which is balanced with the smoothness of the béchamel. I often prepare them for family parties and they are always a success. They can be served as an appetizer or as a starter, accompanied by a homemade alioli sauce. A dish that will transport you to the Mediterranean coast!

Cool the Dough

Remove the dough from the bowl and put it in a source to cool. Once cold, put it in the fridge for a while, so it will compact a bit and you can better form the mussel croquettes. It can be left from one day to the next.

Form the Croquettes

Beat 2 eggs in a bowl and in another put 250 grams of breadcrumbs. Remove the dough from the fridge and form elongated balls to pass them first through the egg and then through the breadcrumbs.

Fry the Croquettes

Put a pan on the fire with 1 glass of oil and, when the oil is very hot, fry the homemade mussel croquettes in batches so that they do not stick together. Turn them over if necessary so that they brown on all sides.
