Monggo Croquettes with Aioli Recipe
5
This simple dish combines the flavors and texture of ground pork and monggo seeds; breaded and fried to get a crunchy taste, served with simple aioli sauce.
Tips
Since monggo is a seed, you need to wash the seeds first in water to get rid of the unwanted dirt they might have collected. And since monggo is a kind of dried bean, you need to soak monggo in water to soften them because seeds absorb water. You can soak monggo for a minimum of 1 hour but the longer you soak them, the less time you need to cook them. Make sure to remove the floating particles on top. You don’t want any dirt on your dish.
