Place the cooked wheat in a colander and drain well.
2

In a large bowl, combine the wheat, Parmesan, one egg, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well.

Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a croquette. Cut the mortadella and provolone into strips, place a piece of each in the center of the croquette, and shape to seal.

Dip the croquettes in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. For extra crunch, you can double coat them.

Fry in hot vegetable oil until golden brown. Serve immediately!
