I made these a couple of months ago for a Spanish themed lunch with friends. My partner is Spanish and made a great Paella and I made the croquetas. Our guests loved them. Couldn't get enough of them. They were a huge success. Thank you for teaching me :-)

Fantastic news, glad it turn out well

Like someone else had said, you stood out on a Jamie Oliver show. As someone with Spanish roots you stood out as an authentic Spanish based chief that allowed me to get in touch with my roots and not having to brush up on my Spanish to do so.

AS per everyone else, been waiting for Omar to start a youtube channel ever since watching him on Jamie Oliver. Specifically the Spanish Omelette which I have to re-watch every time I make it!

Voy hacer. Me gusta las croquetas de jamon

I just came back from Spain to CAnada and just needed to make these. I made it with dried chorizo. Extremally tasty.

Ordering his book. I cant help it.

If only I could smell the beautiful aroma through the screen I will be blessed- 🥺🥺🥺🥺✨✨

I’ve just come back from Jerez where I had tapas for the first time now I’m hooked so thanks very much for all the recipes I really appreciate them.

If I tell you the hundreds of thousands of croquetas that I have probably balled through my life you would understand the reason why!! haha

Made Croquetas for tapas for 16 guests last week, it was well worth all the looking after the bechamel with a glass of wine, everyone said they were delicious and couldn't believe they didn't have cheese in. thank you

My wife’s family(Marichalar) is from Spain. I make her most of you’re recipes and she always says it reminds her of her Grandmothers cooking. Thank you👍

Beautiful! I make these all the time for my family (without bacon - will try that one next time!). One of them cannot eat gluten and I replaced the regular flour with white rice flour. Not traditional, but the texture was just as consistent but somehow even creamier suprisingly. Thank you and cheers!

Your enthusiasm is infectious. Really enjoyable to watch and learn.

¡Hola Omar, i recently discovered your channel after seeing you on Jamie Olivers Food Tube Channel. Seeing you cooking all those amazing and delicious spanish recepies brings back a lot of beautiful memories of my grandmother born in Cataluña and her cooking for our family.

Hola from Puerto Rico! Thank you for sharing your delicious recipe. You have a new subscriber.

A tip for making bechamel: You can make your first addition much larger than later additions. You don't start forming lumps until the starches in the flour have hydrated, so if you're quick with mixing, you can get a head start (as long as your roux is fairly dry)

Thank you😋😋😋

Como me gustaba ir al restaurante "El Pirata de Tapas" en Westbourne Grove en Bayswater, cada vez que viajaba a Londres tenia que ir a comer 1-2 veces y siempre me sorprendias, y gracias por el libro que me dedicaste a través del que era Manager "Roberto" del Restaurante y me lo enviaste a España ese detalle nunca se me olvidará. Espero que todo te siga funcionando muy bien, mucho exito Omar.

Una receta genial. Gracias Omar. Por qué el pan rallado es tan naranja? Lleva algo especial?

I made croquettes using this recipe. However, I used leftover turkey from Christmas lunch and chopped some chorizo thinly and I used fresh breadcrumbs, it tastes delish if I say so myself!! Everyone loved it.

Thank you for your compliment. I hope my recipe has been able to help you in your cooking.

Big respect from the home of the 'bitterbal' (= what we call these types of croquetas in The Netherlands). To be honest, I love the Spanish Croquetas even more than our own versions. I tried your exact recipe, but instead of using bacon for the 'bite', I used large white mushrooms that I reduced in a sauce with a red wine and Pedro Ximenez. They lose about 70% of their size and be come compact taste bombs. If you then cut them brunoise style and add them instead of bacon, the serrano ham flavor gets a beautiful kick and the 'bite' is great.

Thanks

Great video. To bear in mind when serving party guests, how long do these stay crunchy after cooking? Also, do the rolled but yet uncooked croquetas freeze well? Cheers

As always a fine recipe and video, thank you. Good freakin' luck going to "recipies" to find the recipe.

I think these will go nicely with Omar’s lamb stew recipe and paella I will be cooking on the weekend.
