Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets or neighborhood grocery stores. Tempero baiano is a specific Brazilian spice blend; if unavailable, you may use a substitute of black pepper, oregano, and a pinch of chili flakes.
Preparation method
- In a pan, sauté the shredded chicken with the chopped onion, olives, beef stock cube, tempero baiano, cumin, and salt, adding a splash of water if needed until the flavors meld and the liquid evaporates.
- Gradually stir in the flour over low heat using a wooden spoon, stirring constantly until the mixture forms a consistent dough that pulls away from the bottom of the pan.
- Once the dough has cooled slightly, shape it into small balls or your preferred croquette shapes.
- Deep-fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
