Croquetas

Croquetas are silky, bread-crumbed and fried croquettes made from a thick bechamel sauce enriched with jamon Iberico, salt cod, chicken, or mushrooms, and are considered the ultimate test of a Spanish chef's craft. The perfect croqueta has an ultra-thin, shattering crust and a molten, intensely flavoured interior that flows rather than holds its shape. Legendary chef Ferran Adria's version at El Bulli was once voted the best dish in the world.
