One of my husband’s favorite dishes is meat croquettes. I usually make them for larger events or holidays, but sometimes on regular days too. The recipe is entirely my mother’s, and I’m happy to share it with the world—and soon, many other recipes I’ve learned from her.
Let’s start with the ingredients I used:
Filling:
- 2 kg pork neck
- 1 kg raw bacon
- allspice
- salt
- pepper
- bay leaves
- about 300 g onion
- half a head of garlic
The batter:
- 1 liter water
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup oil
- pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- about 750 g flour (the batter should not be too thick)
After breading, the croquettes can be frozen. Before frying, it’s important that they’re completely thawed.
I usually fry a few and freeze the rest. I like having some in the freezer for later.
I invite you to try the recipe. Enjoy!
