Ingredients:
- 100 grams of serrano ham chopped into small pieces
- 50 grams of butter
- 100 grams of flour
- 500 ml milk
- 1 beaten egg
- Tosfrit ham-flavoured Totas (enough to cover the croquettes)
- Sunflower oil (for frying)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
- Preparation of the béchamel sauce: In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous paste. Cook the mixture for a few minutes, stirring constantly so that it does not burn.
- Add the milk: Gradually stir the milk into the butter and flour mixture. Cook over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens and acquires a smooth, creamy texture.
- Add the ham: Once the béchamel sauce is ready, add the chopped ham and mix well. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill the mixture: Transfer the croquette mixture to a shallow bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or until firm and workable.
- Form the croquettes: With the help of a spoon, take portions of the croquette mixture and shape them into oval or round shapes, according to your preference.
- Coating with Totas: Crush the Tosfrit ham-flavoured Totas until you obtain a fine powder. Dip each croquette in beaten egg and then in the Totas crumbs, making sure to cover them completely.
- Fry the croquettes: Heat plenty of sunflower oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
