Rice and chorizo croquettes

In this recipe we adapt the typical Spanish croquettes, adding the flavor of chorizo Palacios. These croquettes are a bit different and full of flavor. Thanks to their pleasant texture, they are highly recommended for children and people with problems chewing.

Method:

Cut the chorizo into pieces and boil in a pot with plenty of water (at least a liter because we will use this water to cook the rice) for 15 minutes. Chop the chorizo and remove the fat from the stock.

Cut the garlic clove in half and brown in a pan with a little oil.

Add the water (750 ml double and a half) and add salt.

Cook on a high heat for 10 minutes, lower the heat and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Mix the rice with the chorizo, add an egg and a little chopped parsley.

Mix well by hand until you get a compact mass.

Shape the croquettes and dip them in the flour and beaten egg. Fry them.

Steps:

Step 1: Boil the chorizo and put the stock to one side.

Step 2: Cook the rice.

Step 3: Combine the rice with the chorizo and mix by hand.

Step 4: Shape the croquettes, cover in batter and fry.
