Preparation

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    Form the mixture into balls, using a slightly rounded tablespoon for each one. Press one piece of mozzarella and 1 piece of tomato into the center of each and reshape into a ball. Coat with the remaining bread crumbs.

  3. Step 3

    Working in batches, deep-fry the balls until nicely browned -- it is important to keep the oil about 365 degrees. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

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
