METHOD
- Melt butter in pan over a medium heat, add onion and crumbled Angel Bay Bites or any other Angel Bay product you have. Cook for a few minutes then add salt, pepper and flour continue cooking for 5 minutes until it starts to brown slightly.
- Slowly pour in milk, stirring continuously to make a thick roux. Continue adding milk until you have a creamy smooth bechamel. Reduce temperature to a slow simmer for approximately 40 minutes, continue mixing occasionally to ensure to bottom does not catch.
- Line baking tray with parchment paper, pour bechamel out and spread evenly, cover with cling film and chill overnight or for at least 4hrs to completely cool.
- Cut set bechamel into 12 even rectangle pieces, then in your hand form the shape into long rounded log or croquette piece, roll in flour, egg wash and breadcrumb. For extra crunch re-dip the croquette in egg wash and breadcrumb for a double crumb effect. Place in the fridge until ready for service.
- Deep fry croquette until golden brown and the centre is fully heated. Place a top a generous serve of truffle aioli and Manchego cheese, serve immediately and watch them fly out of the kitchen all night with this simple winner and great use for supplementary Angel Bay products.
