Ingredients

• 500 ml Beef or chicken stock
• 50 ml Olive oil
• 100 g All-purpose flour
• 250 g Cooked and shredded beef or chicken
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Nutmeg
• 200 g Panko breadcrumbs
• 100 g Rice flour
• 2 Eggs
• 500 ml Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Add the flour to the onions and stir continuously for 2 minutes until the mixture forms a paste.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the beef or chicken stock, whisking continuously to avoid lumps, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded beef or chicken, parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for another 2 minutes until well incorporated.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.

Step 6

Once chilled, shape the mixture into 8 cylindrical croquettes.

Step 7

Prepare a breading station with three plates: one with rice flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

Step 8

Coat each kroket in rice flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and then roll it in panko breadcrumbs to cover completely. Repeat until all krokets are coated.

Step 9

In a deep frying pan or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).

Step 10

Carefully fry the krokets in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

Step 11

Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 12

Serve warm with mustard or your preferred dipping sauce.
