How to Make Dutch Meat Croquettes
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in ½ cup breadcrumbs and cook for 1 minute, until lightly toasted.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and your choice of aromatics (e.g., 1 clove minced garlic).
- Add 2 cups of cooked and shredded meat (beef, pork, or a combination).
- If the mixture is too dry, add 2-4 tablespoons of beef broth or water until it's firm enough to hold its shape when formed.
- The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape. Adjust seasonings as needed.
- Shape the mixture into 8 croquettes (cylinders, balls, or patties).
- Coat each croquette in breadcrumbs, then dip in beaten egg white, and finally coat again in breadcrumbs, ensuring complete coverage.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the croquettes and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with french fries and a fresh salad.
