Preparation

  • Pour the mayonnaise ingredients into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and reserve in the fridge.
  • In a bowl, pour the milk and Panko and toss. Let it soak for a few minutes.
  • In a large bowl, with the exception of olive oil, add the remaining ingredients for the croquettes and the Panko mix, then season with salt and pepper. Mix well and form cakes about 1.5 cm thick. (The mix will be relatively soft, so gently put them in the pan as you go.)
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the cakes a small amount at a time, about 4 minutes per side. Flip gently. Add oil as needed. Serve immediately and accompany with spicy mayo and lemon wedges. You want to impress and change? Serve these cakes in a luxury hamburger!
