They are crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and addictive. These Peas and Ricotta Croquettes are so tasty, they’ll please anyone. I believe I am croquettes’ fan number 1.
Not perfect pictures, but I’m not used to natural light.. and I was starving! I love croquettes. They’re so versatile. So irresistible. They can be filled with anything: cheese, potatoes, ham, mince, vegetables. The only rule is that they must be coated in breadcrumbs. You never get tired of eating them. They’re as simple to make as easy to mess up. They might get too hard, or mushy… Well, it’s something you’ll avoid for sure, following this recipe.
My version features peas and ricotta, breaded with panko and oven cooked. I bet you can fry them, but I usually avoid frying, as my tiny kitchen opens up in the living room. Dip them on your favourite sauce, and they’ll be perfect with a cold beer.
