Puree the beans, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor. Stir in 9 tablespoons of bread crumbs and refrigerate several hours, until firm.

Cooking Notes
This recipe is not worth making. Not flavorful and the croquettes fell apart during frying probably because they are very mushy and needed more breadcrumbs in the mixture
Delicious! I ended up skipping the 3/4 coating of bread crumb at the end and they turned out great
