Description

A creamy béchamel foundation flavored with finely chopped Spanish chorizo and grated Manchego cheese creates the flavorful tapas dish known as Spanish Chorizo and Manchego Cheese Croquettes. Chilled, the mixture is formed into bite-sized croquettes, dipped in flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs, and then deep-fried until golden. The rich, nutty flavor of Manchego combines well with the smoky, somewhat spicy flavor of the chorizo to create a creamy, crispy delight that can be eaten as an appetizer or as a snack.
