Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 unit medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 100 grams almond flour
- 1 unit egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- as needed vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and parsley. Mix until thoroughly combined.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk until well blended.
Place the almond flour in another shallow dish.
Form the beef mixture into small patties, about the size of a golf ball, and slightly flatten each ball into a croquette shape.
Dip each croquette first into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in almond flour.
Heat remaining coconut oil and enough vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat for frying.
Fry the croquettes in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the croquettes from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Beef Croquettes with a side salad or your favorite Whole30 compliant dipping sauce.
