About Croquete de carne
Croquete de Carne is a popular Brazilian snack renowned for its crispy exterior and savory, meat-filled center. Typically made with ground beef seasoned with onions, garlic, parsley, and spices, the mixture is enriched with flour and eggs to create a dough that is then shaped into small cylinders, breaded, and deep-fried to golden perfection. Originally influenced by European culinary traditions, particularly from Portugal, these croquettes are a beloved feature of Brazilian street food and festive gatherings. While rich in protein due to the beef, Croquete de Carne is also high in calories and fat from the frying process, making it a more indulgent treat than a daily staple. Alternatives like baking or air frying can reduce the fat content while retaining much of the flavor. Moderation is key to enjoying this delicious and comforting snack as part of a balanced diet.
