Croquetas de Pollo

When I was growing up, I always visit my grandma. She loves to cook. I always dropped by her workplace after school. Her fettuccini with Alfredo sauce and croquetas de Pollo are my favorite food. She died when I was in College. When we visited Saint Petersburg and dine at the Columbia Restaurant at the Pier, I was amazed to see this:I still miss the recipe of my grandma. It was better than the Croquetas in Columbia.

Croquetas de Pollo

I used to visit Bem-Bem where she works. She was my aunt granny and whenever there are parties of her employer, she was there to help prepare two of her famous recipes: Croquetas de Pollo and Pollo Fettuccini in white sauce. She died almost two decades ago but, we still remember her recipe so; every special occasion, my mother would prepare it for our noche buena and birthdays. When we dine in to a Spanish inspired restaurant in St. Petersburg, I was so amazed to see the croquetas in the menu as an appetizer. It brings back my childhood memories. While I watch her cooking, I was always there waiting to eat my share. Honestly, the croquetas of my granny is more tasty and juicy than this one. Their croquetas are dry and the ingredient seems lacking. Anyway, I asked my mom the ingredient of Croquetas de Pollo so I can make it homemade too.
