Croquette Recipes

What Are Croquette Recipes

Croquette recipes create fried food item thats can be bite-sized, or the size of a small apple, or even patty-shaped for putting on a bun. It is a mixture of ingredients, typically a chopped meat with breadcrumbs and flour or egg, that is deep- or pan-fried.

Croquettes can be served as fingerfood with a dipping sauce, as an entree like an individual meatloaf, often topped with a white sauce for gravy, as a sandwich filling, or even a dessert.

While croquettes are often thought of as a rather fancy food, they are also a great way to revitalize leftovers. If you're on the third day of turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving, turkey croquettes may quell the rebellion of your turkey-tired crew.

What Can be Croquette-ized?

Almost anything, really. Croquette recipes are also a good way to 'extend' meat - if you only have enough for four and are suddenly called upon to serve six, you can stretch out the entree by turning your meat dish into croquettes.

Fillers can be bread, flour, rice, cooked potato... anything that will add bulk to the mix, and absorb and retain the flavors.

But What About the Fat?

If you are limiting your consumption of fats, you may find the deep-frying a sticking point. If so, try modifying your favorite croquette recipes to baking. You will never be able to get as crispy a finish as with frying, but if you use egg as part of the binder, you will be able to achieve a crust at least. Try it - you may like the baked croquettes better than the fried ones.
