If you liked the incredible pickled mussel croquettes with their powerful marine flavour, you will also love these other croquettes made with a can of anchovies as the main ingredient.
we start chopping the onion very fine and sautéing it in the pan with half the butter. Then, we add a tablespoon of olive oil to help it brown well. Meanwhile, we chop the Cantabrian anchovy fillets with a knife.
In the next step, we add the anchovies to the pan and stir well, until they have practically disappeared. Add the rest of the butter and flour, stirring well until you make a thick rouxthat we let it cook so that it does not taste like flour.
Add the liquid cream and stir until the mass has absorbed it. Then, add the fish broth or fumet and continue stirring, gradually incorporating the milk and stirring constantly so that lumps do not form. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, until the surface of the pan is filled with bubbles.
anchovies they will fall apart in the process, being integrated into the mass. In fact, they will provide a delicious flavor of seafood. For the salt, we taste and rectify salt and pepper. Optionally, we add a pinch of ground nutmeg. It will be necessary since we have not added salt either with the onion or with the cream and milk.
We leave the dough in a bowl, cover it with a kitchen film and Let it rest in the fridge for 24 hours. Finally, we form the croquettes, coat them with egg and breadcrumbs and fry them in batches in abundant olive oil, very hot for optimal results.
