I think I have incarnated partly to learn to make Spanish food. My favorite ingredient is garlic. My obsession is getting a restaurant-quality gazpacho. (You just need to cut up fresh vegetables and blend them together. That should be it, right? Right?????)
Last week, I tried making croquettes. While I frequently go to Spanish tapas bars on trips, my home town seems to lack one.
Croquettes proved fairly easy to make. A croquette is essentially fried, battered bechamel. You can put lots of different things into the bechamel.
Since I lacked some of the ingredients that I needed, I added too much milk to the bechamel. My croquettes could have had a slightly firmer consistency. They still tasted really good!
