Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound chorizo sausage
- 4 slices of bacon, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup MAMBO sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Preparation:
1. Cook the Chorizo and Bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage and diced bacon until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Make the Roux:
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for a few minutes until it forms a thick paste, known as a roux. Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
Once the roux has thickened, stir in the cooked chorizo, bacon, onion, bell pepper, and garlic mixture. Add MAMBO sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
4. Shape the Croquetas:
Take the chilled mixture out of the refrigerator and shape it into small balls or cylinder shapes. Roll each croqueta in breadcrumbs until fully coated. Place the shaped croquetas on a plate and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
5. Fry the Croquetas:
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the croquetas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Once all the croquetas are fried, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with a side of MAMBO sauce for dipping. Enjoy these savory and delicious Chorizo and Bacon Croquetas as a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion!
