A staple of Portuguese snack counters, croquetes are made lighter here by coating boiled meat in breadcrumbs and air-frying instead of deep-frying. They freeze well ahead of time, making them handy for lunchboxes too.
Sauté the onion in olive oil, add the ground beef and cook until the liquid evaporates. Stir in the flour and milk and cook for 10 minutes, stirring, until it forms a thick paste, then season with salt and black pepper.
Let the mixture cool, shape it into cylindrical croquettes, and chill for 30 minutes.
Coat each croquette in flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs.
Arrange the croquettes in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C for 15 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp. If you don't have an air fryer, bake them in an oven preheated to 200°C for 20 minutes instead.
Firm the croquettes in the fridge for 30 minutes before air-frying, or they may fall apart while cooking. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and egg.
Using shredded poached chicken breast instead of ground beef makes a lighter version, and the cooking time stays the same.
Admin DadaGastro · verified in test kitchenKroketleri buzdolabında yeterince bekletmedim, 30 dakika yerine 10 dakika ile aceleye geldim ve airfryer'da pişerken kenarları çatlayıp şekilleri bozuldu. Sabırla tam süre beklemek gerekiyormuş, bir dahaki sefere bunu es geçmeyeceğim.
Haklısınız, 30 dakikalık bekleme harcın yağını sertleştirip kroketin dağılmasını önlüyor. Zamanınız kısıtlıysa 15 dakikalık dondurucu bekletmesi de işe yarayabilir.
