Directions:

Melt butter inwards a pan, add together together rock petroleum inwards improver to oestrus through. Add the ham, onion inwards improver to garlic. Saute until the onion is soft inwards improver to translucent, almost 5-8 minutes. Sprinkle with flour inwards improver to spices inwards improver to educate 1-2 minutes. Add the milk inwards improver to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.

My thoughts:

Why don't we swallow more than croquettes inwards this country? When we were inwards Belgium, I ate a ton of croquettes aux crevettes (shrimp croquettes) inwards improver to inwards planning our upcoming trip to Portugal, it looks like Lisbon is lousy with beef croquettes (croquetes). Occasionally we mightiness build a fish cake but they aren't every flake fun every flake the picayune log-shaped croquettes that are therefore abundant elsewhere. I'd like to alter that. I made these using leftover spiral-sliced ham inwards improver to but onion inwards improver to garlic but they were super flavorful inwards improver to surprisingly easy. When we went to a cooking cast inwards Brugge, the chef showed us how to build croquettes aux crevettes but he had a large pan of flour inwards improver to milk gum ready to locomote therefore all y'all lot needed to exercise was scoop some out inwards improver to mix inwards the shrimp. That genuinely isn't practical for the dwelling educate therefore I came upward with this recipe which makes the "paste" on the stove trapping the ham inside. The croquette is a delight; crisp on the outside, melty inwards improver to warm on the inside.
