Croqueta de Cocido is a Spanish comfort food originating from the hearty cocido stew. These croquettes are made by blending shredded meat (usually beef, pork, or chicken), chickpeas, and vegetables from the stew with a creamy béchamel sauce. The mixture is shaped into small cylinders, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried to golden perfection. While their creamy interior and crispy shell make them a tasty treat, they are an indulgent snack high in fat due to the frying process. However, the inclusion of protein-rich meats and nutrient-dense chickpeas provides some nutritional value. Moderation is key with this savory Spanish classic, as it offers satisfying flavors but should be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
