Croquette De Pois Chiche

A Flavor Explosion

There are dishes that comfort, dishes that surprise, and then there are dishes that do both—this is one of them. Imagine biting into a perfectly crisp chickpea croquette, only to be met with the creamy, tangy burst of blueberry-infused cheese. As you savor the contrast of textures and flavors, the slow heat of a habanero sauce creeps in, leaving a lingering warmth that keeps you coming back for more.

This dish is a celebration of bold combinations—earthy chickpeas, sweet and tangy blueberry cheese, and fiery habanero, all working together to create something truly unique. Whether you’re a plant-based food lover, a fan of fusion cuisine, or just looking for an exciting new appetizer to wow your guests, these croquettes are sure to impress.

Chickpeas (or garbanzo beans) are a powerhouse of nutrition and versatility. In this dish, they’re mashed and seasoned with garlic, cumin, and a hint of smoked paprika before being shaped into bite-sized croquettes. A light coating of breadcrumbs gives them that irresistible crunch when fried to golden perfection.

Here’s where the magic happens. Nestled inside each croquette is a hidden treasure: a creamy cheese infused with blueberries. The mild tartness of the berries complements the richness of the cheese, creating a filling that is both unexpected and delicious. If you’re dairy-free, we can use a cashew-based blueberry cheese as well.
