COATING
GARLIC MAYO
Méthode
- First up, add all the filling ingredients to a mixing bowl & combine well. Lightly flour your hands then form the mixture into around 10-12 croquette shapes, I use around 4 tbs of mix per croquette.
- Once shaped prepare your coating. Mix together 1 cup/125g of the plain flour in a mixing bowl with enough water & a splash of oil to make it a loose pancake batter style consistency. In another bowl add the rest of the plain flour & in a third bowl add the breadcrumbs.
- Individually dip the croquette first into the flour, then into the batter mix and finally into the breadcrumbs. Making sure they’re coated well.
- Once you’ve coated all the croquettes, set them aside until you’re ready to cook. Meanwhile mix together the garlic mayo ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
- To fry the croquettes, add the oil to a large sauce pan, making sure the oil only fills the pan half way high. Test if it’s hot enough by dipping a wooden spoon in the oil & if bubbles form around the spoon your oil is ready.
- Carefully fry 4-5 croquettes at a time for for 3-4 minutes or until golden & crisp. Once fried, remove them from the oil using a spider or slotted spoon then place them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to soak up excess oil, season with a little salt.
- Once you’ve fried all the croquettes, serve them with lots of garlic mayo, some capers & padron peppers.
Good to know!
Serve with padron peppers and capers for a full fiesta.

Hi I like the look of some of your recipes although I am not vegan or vegetarian. The problem so far I can see is there are No calories marked down. I use the fitness Pal app. It is terrific for eating most things providing you can keep account of intake. I presume you only send the packets of grains?
thanks. CS
