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.

Provided by gailanng

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup creme fraiche (8 ounces)
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cups mixed berries such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries
4 mint sprigs (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Place creme fraiche in a medium-size non-reactive bowl. Add sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice and whisk well to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, 1 hour or longer. (Lemon Creme Fraiche can be prepared 2 days ahead; keep covered and refrigerated.).
  • Rinse berries and gently pat dry. If using strawberries, rinse first then hull and halve (or quarter, if large) lengthwise. Place berries in a large bowl and gently toss to combine.
  • Divide berries among four wide-mouthed wine glasses, martini glasses or dessert bowls. Drizzle each serving with about 1/4 cup of Lemon Creme.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality canned tuna: Opt for tuna packed in olive oil or water rather than vegetable oil, as it has a better flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the tuna: The tuna should be cooked just until it is opaque in the center, otherwise it will become dry and tough.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The ginger-lime crème fraîche is what really makes these croquettes special, so use fresh ginger and lime and make sure the crème fraîche is of good quality.
  • Gently fold the ingredients together: Overmixing the croquette mixture will make them tough, so be gentle when folding in the tuna, bread crumbs, and crème fraîche.
  • Fry the croquettes in hot oil: This will help them to brown evenly and get crispy on the outside.

Conclusion:

These Tortuga Tuna Croquettes with Ginger-Lime Crème Fraîche are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve.
