Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 small Shallots, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 200 grams Button mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 60 grams All-purpose flour
• 500 milliliters Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 to taste Salt and pepper
• 50 grams Cornstarch
• 50 milliliters Water
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until they are tender and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the chopped mushrooms and grated carrot to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and the carrot is soft.

Step 3

Stir in the thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes to cook the flour.

Step 5

Gradually add the vegetable broth while stirring, then add the nutritional yeast, soy sauce, and smoked paprika. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and forms a smooth paste.

Step 6

Once thickened, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 7

Take small portions of the cooled mixture and shape them into cylindrical croquettes.

Step 8

In a bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Place the breadcrumbs on a separate plate.

Step 9

Dip each kroket into the cornstarch mixture, then roll it in breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Repeat with remaining kroketten.

Step 10

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a large, deep saucepan to 180°C (350°F).

Step 11

Carefully place the croquettes in the hot oil, frying them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Step 12

Remove the kroketten from oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 13

Serve hot with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
