Tuna Croquettes

• 2 tablespoons oil plus more for frying
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 tablespoons pastry flour
• 4 1/4 cups milk divided
• 7 ounces fish tuna, packed in oil, drained
• 3 pinches ground nutmeg
• salt to taste
• 1 egg beaten
• breadcrumbs

1. In a large skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons of oil and butter together.
2. Sprinkle in the flour and mix well with the fats. Toast the flour a bit to remove its raw flavor. Flatten any lumps with the back of a wooden spoon,
3. After 5 minutes, add 500 milliliters milk and stir well to remove any lumps. Once the mixture is smooth, add the rest of the milk and do the same.
4. Stir in the tuna fish and continue to heat until the milk has thickened and starts to pull away from the edges. Season with nutmeg and salt to taste.
5. Pour the mixture into a container, cover with plastic wrap touching the top of the mixture so no skin forms, and refrigerate until firm.
6. Scoop out sections of the cooled mixture with 2 spoons. Coat them in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs, and then fry in oil until golden.
