El Puro chef dishes about the Cuban appetizer

QC Life Celebrating World Croquetas Day

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Croquetas are bite-sized, deep-fried balls with a creamy filling and a crunchy breadcrumb crust. The tasty treats can be filled a variety of items including meat and vegetables. The filling is often mixed with a thick bechamel sauce.

El Puro’s chef Carlos Nevarez walks us through how they make their version of the classic dish.

If you don’t want to make your own, you can visit El Puro and get an order for $12.
