Ingredients

olive oil
2/3 pound codfish unsalted
1 5/8 cups flour
4 1/4 cups milk
2 hard boiled eggs diced
3 cloves garlic minced
nutmeg
parsley minced
salt
flour
2 eggs beaten
breadcrumbs

Directions

1

Heat oil in a skillet and saute the garlic and parsley with the codfish.
2

Add the flour, stir to toast slightly, and add the milk, little by little. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly.
3

Add salt and nutmeg along with the egg. When the sauce thickens, remove from heat, pour into a large bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. The plastic wrap should touch the top of the mixture to keep it moist. Let cool.
4

Divide the mixture into portions and roll into balls. Roll through the flour, the beaten egg, and the breadcrumbs. Fry in olive oil until golden brown.
5

Serve. The croquettes may also be frozen on trays and then placed into plastic bags to store in the freezer.
