Description

Eat. Drink. Live.

Ham Croquettes (Croquetas de Jamon) are a classic Spanish tapas dish. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these little flavor bombs will knock your socks off.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup finely minced onion
  • ¼ and ½ cup flour, divided
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 3 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 eggs
  • 6 ounces finely chopped serrano ham, very finely minced
  • salt
  • pepper
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • oil for frying

Directions

  • Heat a saute pan over medium heat. Add butter and olive oil and when butter is melted and oil is warm, add onion. Saute onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ¼ cup flour and whisk until browned and nutty, one to two minutes.
  • Very slowly whisk in milk, a little at a time to avoid a lumpy sauce. Season with a little salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg (remember that the ham is salty, so go easy on the salt at first). Continue to whisk constantly until sauce has thickened, 10-15 minutes. When sauce has thickened, stir in ham. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.
  • Pour sauce into a baking sheet and allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours (can also be done the day before cooking).
  • When ready to cook, preheat oven to 200 and prepare a baking sheet fitted with a cooling rack.
  • Prepare a breading station by whisking eggs in one dish and placing breadcrumbs into a shallow dish, and ½ cup flour in another dish. Shape the dough into 1-2 tablespoon sized, football shaped balls. Roll in the flour, then in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs.
  • In a heavy pot or deep fryer, bring oil to 350 degrees.
  • Add up to six, one at a time, into the oil and fry until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. When removing from oil, place onto prepared rack and leave in the warm oven until ready to serve.
  • These are best served fresh!
