  3. Prepare the coating. Place 125g of the flour in a bowl and whisk with enough water and a splash of oil to create a loose batter consistency.

  5. Coat each croquette by dipping it first into the flour, then the batter, and finally the breadcrumbs.
  6. Set aside while you prepare the garlic mayo.
  7. Mix together the vegan mayonnaise, roasted garlic, dried herbs and lemon juice until smooth.
  8. Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan, ensuring the oil fills no more than halfway up the pan.
  9. Fry the croquettes in batches of 4–5 for 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp.
  10. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper to drain. Season lightly with salt.
  11. Serve warm with the garlic mayo, capers and padrón peppers.
