Croquetas

Spanish Remoulade

Method

Croquetas Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Bechamel

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 2-3 minutes until it forms a roux.

  2. 2

    Add Milk

    Slowly add the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 8-10 minutes).

  3. 3

    Incorporate Ingredients

    Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the diced serrano ham, smoked ham, grated Mahon cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until the cheese is melted and everything is combined.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mixture

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely cooled.

  5. 5

    Shape the Croquetas

    Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into cylindrical shapes (about 3-4 cm long).

  6. 6

    Breading

    Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Roll each croqueta in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.

  7. 7

    Fry the Croquetas

    In a deep frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the croquetas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Spanish Remoulade Preparation

  1. 8

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, minced garlic, chopped capers, chopped parsley, and lemon juice.

  2. 9

    Stir Until Smooth

    Stir all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
