Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, egg, minced garlic, fresh parsley, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Add 60 grams of panko breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Shape the mixture into croquette shapes, approximately 2 inches in diameter. You should get about 8 croquettes.
Place the flour on a shallow plate and coat each croquette lightly with flour.
In another shallow plate, whisk together the water with the remaining panko breadcrumbs to make a batter-like consistency.
Dip each floured croquette into the panko batter mix, ensuring they are completely coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
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.
Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
