Ingredients
Vegan Sobrasada (Sun-dried Tomato Pate) makes 1 cup
- 100 g sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 70 g cashews
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts optional
- 100 g jarred peppers or pimientos del piquillo
- 20 g extra virgin olive oil
- ½ garlic clove
- 2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
Croquettes
- 1 cup Vegan Sobrasada
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrums
Vegan Egg
- 2 teaspoon cornflour
- 2 teaspoon chickpea flour
- A few drops of vinegar
- ⅓ cup water
Instructions
- Heat some olive oil over medium heat using a medium-sized frying pan and add the Vegan spread.
- Add the flour and stir to combine well for 2-3 minutes. Then add the plant-based milk and stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Transfer the dough to a shallow pan or casserole and leave it in the fridge for an hour.
- Prepare the ingredients to shape the croquettes. Place some all purpose flour on a plate, then mix all the ingredients for the vegan egg and whisk until everything has been incorporated, and use a deep bowl to add the breadcrumbs.
- Shape the croquettes by making a cylinder shape. Coat the croquette with flour, then dip it into the vegan egg mixture and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the dough has been used.
- At this point, you can deep-fry the croquettes (see FAQ and Tips) or store them in the freezer overnight to air-fry them the next day.
- To freeze them we use a Ziploc bag, place them on a plastic chopping board for an hour and then remove the board and leave them in the freezer to avoid from sticking or breaking.
- Take the frozen croquettes out of the freezer. Set the air-fryer to 200C (400F) for 2 minutes, then lower it to 180C (350F) for 16-18 minutes.
- Add some olive oil to the croquettes with a brush and add them in batches to not overcrowd the basket.
- Serve while warm and enjoy.
