Instructions
Prep
Grate the manchego. Dice the onion. Set out the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs for coating the shaped croquettes.
Saute
Cook the chorizo and onion over medium heat 5 minutes until the fat renders deep red and the onion softens fully.
Build
Stir in flour, then milk, over medium heat 6–7 minutes until a thick bechamel forms, then fold in manchego and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Fry
Shape into small logs, coat in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, and deep-fry in batches over medium-high heat 3–4 minutes per batch until golden and crisp.
Plate
Pile the croquettes onto a board, scatter fresh parsley, and serve hot with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing.
