Ham Croquettes
DESCRIPTION

Ham croquettes are a savory appetizer made with a creamy mixture of butter, milk, and finely chopped Jamon Serrano, shaped into small cylinders, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried until golden and crispy. The interior is soft and gooey, while the exterior provides a satisfying crunch. The rich, salty flavor of the ham complements the delicate, cheesy filling.

WINE PAIRING

For Ham Croquettes, a crisp sparkling wine like Cava is an excellent pairing. The bubbles and acidity cut through the rich, fried texture of the croquettes, while the wine's fruity notes complement the savory ham flavor. Alternatively, a light-bodied red like Barbera with its high acidity and low tannins can also work well to balance out the dish's greasy, cheesy elements.
