Plantain Crusted Crab and Artichoke Croqueta
Recipes » Main Dish » Quiche and Savory Pies
this recipe was created with my mentor Chef Mercy Vera. this was used in Biltmore Hotel's Annual Coral gables taste of the gables and the the seventh annual Croquet & Croquetas at the Deering Estate. We wanted to make a croquetta but different from the chicken or meat filling so we decided to make it a crab and artichoke filling. For the crust, traditionally is crackers or breadcrumbs but we decided to make it plantain crusted. for the sauce we used a Bechamel sauce as a base and made a mango sauce.
"This was tasting AMAZING to myself and friends, I only wish I could have taken a picture since it got so many compliments! The mango sauce is very nice and a perfect topping for the croquetas. A bit of a laborous recipe to make but SO worth it, TY!" - Corwin26Yield: 10 Ready in 1 hours, 40 minutes
