Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 finely minced Garlic cloves
- 100 grams Bread crumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 250 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the onions and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the onions and garlic, cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks.
Season the beef with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well and remove the mixture from the heat. Let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with 50 grams of bread crumbs and one egg. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Take small portions of the beef mixture and shape them into oval patties about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, place the flour. In a separate shallow dish, beat the remaining egg with the water. Spread the remaining bread crumbs on a third shallow dish.
Dredge each croquette first in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Ensure each croquette is fully covered at each step.
In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C) or until a small breadcrumb dropped into the oil sizzles and turns golden within seconds.
Fry the croquettes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each croquette for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides.
Remove croquettes from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the dairy-free beef croquettes hot as a main dish or a delightful appetizer accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.
