Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 500 milliliters Vegetable broth
- 200 grams Button mushrooms, finely chopped
- 50 grams Carrot, finely diced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 large Eggs
- 200 grams Bread crumbs
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, chopped mushrooms, and diced carrot, cooking until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir continuously for about 2 minutes until the flour is fully absorbed.
Gradually add the vegetable broth to the pan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook until the mixture thickens into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Season the mixture with nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Allow this ragout to cool completely, ideally refrigerating for several hours or overnight to firm up.
Once the ragout is firm, shape it into 12 equal-sized logs (about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick).
Beat the eggs in a shallow dish. Place the bread crumbs in another shallow dish.
Roll each log in the beaten egg and then coat in bread crumbs. Ensure they are well coated for a crispier result.
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F). Carefully fry the kroketten in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes each.
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot as a snack or appetizer, with mustard or any dipping sauce of your choice.
