    I made these a couple of months ago for a Spanish themed lunch with friends. My partner is Spanish and made a great Paella and I made the croquetas. Our guests loved them. Couldn't get enough of them. They were a huge success. Thank you for teaching me :-)

    Like someone else had said, you stood out on a Jamie Oliver show. As someone with Spanish roots you stood out as an authentic Spanish based chief that allowed me to get in touch with my roots and not having to brush up on my Spanish to do so.

    A tip for making bechamel: You can make your first addition much larger than later additions. You don't start forming lumps until the starches in the flour have hydrated, so if you're quick with mixing, you can get a head start (as long as your roux is fairly dry)

    Big respect from the home of the 'bitterbal' (= what we call these types of croquetas in The Netherlands). To be honest, I love the Spanish Croquetas even more than our own versions. I tried your exact recipe, but instead of using bacon for the 'bite', I used large white mushrooms that I reduced in a sauce with a red wine and Pedro Ximenez. They lose about 70% of their size and be come compact taste bombs. If you then cut them brunoise style and add them instead of bacon, the serrano ham flavor gets a beautiful kick and the 'bite' is great.
