Txangurro Crab Croquetas

Description

The ultimate Basque croqueta has to be made from Txangurro crab.

The base of this traditional Basque croqueta is made from a ‘txangurro a la donostiarra’ sauce, which in essence is a traditional armoricaine sauce of fresh crab meat flambé in cognac and cooked in a sauce of diced tomato, white wine, garlic and fresh herbs. The crab sauce is then blended with a thick bechamel made from local Basque milk before rolling into bite size croquetas. The result is a rich crab croqueta like no other.

Making your own croquetas is great fun but this not only takes out some of the hard labour but ensure your getting the authentic croquetas experience made with top quality Spanish ingredients.

These crab croquetas make a perfect tapas or pintxos, just deep fry from frozen in medium hot oil until golden brown on the outside or shallow fry in small batches, turning often, until a lovely, crunchy golden colour for 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately.

Come frozen in trays of 12 crab croquetas of approx. 50g each. Cook from frozen.
