📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A creative dish making croquetas, the Spanish bar classic of béchamel croquettes, with canned tuna and milk, butter, and flour from home. Fried in a coating of flour and beaten egg with no breadcrumbs, they're lighter than Japanese korokke and creamy inside. A drinking snack pared down to ingredients you'll often find in the fridge or cupboard.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a weekend night, little freshly fried croquetas are plated, and their creamy centers ooze out when broken open over a glass of wine.
