In a cold skillet, add a splash of olive oil and garlic.

Once the onion is translucent, add diced níscalos and a bit of salt and pepper.

Add a bay leaf for flavor, then cook for 5 minutes to evaporate water and concentrate flavor.

6

Add butter to make the croquettes creamy and easy to shape.

7

Once the butter is integrated, sprinkle flour over the mixture and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.

Lower the heat and gradually add warm milk while stirring to avoid lumps.

9

Cook until the mixture pulls away from the skillet, then remove the bay leaf.
