TUNA CROQUETTES
This tuna croquettes recipe is one of our favorites. My husband and I grow our own cucumbers and dill, which makes the dish taste extra fresh. Reduced-fat mayonnaise and sour cream can be used in place of full-fat versions. -Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

TUNA & OLIVE CROQUETTES
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.

Tips:
- Use fresh tuna: Fresh tuna has a more delicate flavor and texture than canned tuna. If you're using canned tuna, be sure to drain it well and flake it before using.
- Don't overmix the croquettes: Overmixing will make the croquettes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use a light touch when shaping the croquettes: The croquettes are delicate, so be gentle when shaping them. If the croquettes are too tightly packed, they will be dense and dry.
- Fry the croquettes in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the croquettes are added. This will help the croquettes to brown quickly and evenly.
- Serve the croquettes hot: Tuna olive croquettes are best served hot, so they can be enjoyed at their crispy best. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, lemon mayonnaise, or tomato sauce.
Conclusion:
Tuna olive croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a light meal. With their crispy exterior and flavorful filling, tuna olive croquettes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
