Tuna & Olive Croquettes image

I found this recipe when I was researching an article on Spanish food for a food story when the Olympics were in Barcelonoa in 1992. Since then, I've made these so many times, in so many ways. They will accomodate about a zillion variations and still come out delicious. Prep time doesn't include chilling time. I usually prepare the creamed mixture the day or night before.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 (7 ounce) can tuna in water
milk
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup pimento stuffed olive
1/4 cup minced parsley
2 tablespoons capers, minced (optional)
flour, for coating
2 eggs, beaten
breadcrumbs, for coating
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Drain the tuna and measure the liquid. Add enough milk to equal 1/4 cup liquid. Whisk into flour mixture, cooking until thickened.
  • Season with salt and pepper and stir in tuna and olives. Refrigerate the mixture until cold.
  • Shape 1/4 cup of the mixture into a patty. Coat with flour, then egg, then bread crumbs.
  • Fry in a little hot oil in a skillet, turning once or twice, until crisp and golden outside, a total of about 6 minutes per side.

These croquettes were delicious! The tuna and olive filling was flavorful and the breadcrumb coating was crispy and golden brown. I served them with a side of tartar sauce and they were a hit with my family. I will definitely be making these again.

These croquettes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less olives next time. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the croquettes were crispy and flavorful.

5 stars! These croquettes were amazing! I followed the recipe exactly, and they turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic next time. Other than that, these are now my go-to recipe for tuna croquettes.
