1/2 cup wheat flour
100 g chopped olives

Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the chilled poultry section, the packaged olives aisle, the fresh produce section, the baking aisle, and the seasoning section of your local supermarket. If needed, a chicken stock cube can be used as a substitute for the beef stock cube, keeping the flavour profile close.
Preparation method
- In a pan, cook the shredded chicken with the chopped onion, the olives, the beef stock cube, the Bahian seasoning, the cumin and the salt, adding a little water if needed, until the seasonings are well combined and the water has evaporated
- Add the wheat flour little by little, stirring with a wooden spoon over low heat, until it forms a firm dough that comes away from the bottom of the pan
- Once the dough has cooled slightly, shape the croquettes into balls or any other shape you prefer
- Fry the croquettes in hot oil until golden and crisp
- Drain on paper towels before serving
