Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean ground beef
• 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 small Carrot, finely grated
• 1 Egg
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 50 grams All-purpose flour, for coating
• 60 milliliters Water
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, egg, minced garlic, fresh parsley, black pepper, and dried thyme.

Step 2

Add 60 grams of panko breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into croquette shapes, approximately 2 inches in diameter. You should get about 8 croquettes.

Step 4

Place the flour on a shallow plate and coat each croquette lightly with flour.

Step 5

In another shallow plate, whisk together the water with the remaining panko breadcrumbs to make a batter-like consistency.

Step 6

Dip each floured croquette into the panko batter mix, ensuring they are completely coated.

Step 7

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, place the croquettes in the pan. Cook each side for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the croquettes are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
