White Bean Croquettes Stuffed With Mozzarella And Tomato Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic until it's lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste (be careful of splattering) and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
• Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top, then bake until the cheese has melted and browned in spots, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as toasted as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for a minute or 2. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot with enough cold water to cover them. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until there are no large chunks left.
• Add the garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, 1 beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Take a spoonful of potatoes and form into a patty.
• Place a cheese stick in the middle and wrap the potato around the cheese until it is evenly covered.
• Arrange the formed croquettes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Place the flour, 3 remaining eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Dredge the croquettes in the flour, shaking off any excess; then dredge in the egg and the bread crumbs.
• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Fry the croquettes for 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Transfer the croquettes to a wire rack set over paper towels to drain the excess oil.
• Let cool for a few minutes as they will be HOT.
• Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley and serve with marinara sauce alongside.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut the tops off the tomatoes and, using a spoon, hollow out the middle. In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, oregano, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place the stuffing in the tomatoes, taking care not to pack them too tight. Place on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Roast for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Puree the beans, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor. Stir in 9 tablespoons of bread crumbs and refrigerate several hours, until firm.
• Form the mixture into balls, using a slightly rounded tablespoon for each one. Press 1 piece of mozzarella and 1 piece of tomato into the center of each and reshape into a ball. Coat with the remaining bread crumbs.
• Working in batches, deep-fry the balls until nicely browned (it is important to keep the oil around 365 degrees). Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200°F.
• Mash the beans, but do not puree, have a few lumps in here, add a bit of bean water if necessary to even out.
• Combine the beans, onion, parsley, egg salt& pepper.
• Add crumbs (I like the crumbs best) or cornmeal by the tbsp until you have a batter that you can handle by hand. Shape into hamburger shaped patties and fry in lightly sprayed oil coated pan, 3-5 minutes each side or until browned on each side. Keep warm in the 200°F oven until all are cooked or you could serve at room temperature.
