Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 500 ml beef or chicken stock
- 250 grams cooked beef or chicken, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon gelatin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 large egg yolks
- 100 grams all-purpose flour (for dredging)
- 2 large eggs
- 200 grams breadcrumbs
- 1000 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until it forms a smooth paste.
Gradually add the beef or chicken stock while continually whisking to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens into a sauce, about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked meat, gelatin, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the sauce. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Beat in the egg yolks and mix until fully incorporated. Let the mixture cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.
Shape the meat mixture into cylindrical rolls about 4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
Place the flour on a plate, beat the eggs in a shallow dish, and place the breadcrumbs on another plate for coating.
Dredge each kroket in flour, dip in the beaten eggs, and coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. For extra crispiness, repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven to 180°C (350°F). Fry the krokets in batches for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.
Remove the krokets from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.
