Where to find ingredients
Find chicken and fresh produce at local markets like those in Port of Spain or San Fernando. Chicken stock cubes and flour are available in the baking and dry goods aisles of local supermarkets.
Preparation method
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, cook the shredded chicken with the diced 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, mixing constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a consistent dough that pulls away cleanly from the bottom of the pot.
- Once the dough has cooled slightly, shape it into small logs or bite-sized balls according to your preference.
- Deep-fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels before serving.
