To burn it off
Croquetas are Spain's favourite tapa. A thick béchamel with chopped jamón, chicken or cod is chilled, rolled, breaded and fried until the outside cracks and the inside runs.
Four are 300 kcal, with 9 g of protein, 25 g of carbs and 18 g of fat. The milk, butter and flour make the filling, the fryer does the rest.
They are small, which is why a ración disappears so fast.
Tips
- 1Order one ración for the table, not one each.
- 2Pair them with a salad or grilled vegetables.
- 3At home, bake or air fry them with a light spray of oil.
