There are times when you have to make a virtue of necessity. This recipe comes from one of those times. Croquettes are one of the most popular tapas in the Spanish (Spaniard) gastronomy. There is no tapas bar without them. And among popular croquettes, jamón croquettes are top of the list. So here came the necessity: there is no jamón in the US. (Come on FDA, seriously?). So I had to come up with an alternative and I am quite pleased with the results. These are not jamón croquettes but roasted chicken leftovers and spinach croquettes are second best! And if you dip them in the most flavorful romesco sauce, these croquettes can run for president.
