Instructions
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In a medium-sized pan, heat a generous amount of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onion turns translucent.
-
-
Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the pan, stirring until it changes color and is cooked through. Then, introduce the grated carrots and potatoes, mixing well until the vegetables soften slightly.
-
Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in a bit of sugar, salt, and ground pepper to taste, ensuring all ingredients are well combined. Once seasoned, remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
-
Incorporate Eggs: Once the mixture has cooled to a manageable temperature, add the eggs, stirring until fully incorporated. If you wish, mix in some cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
-
Shape the Croquettes: Spoon the mixture into molds or your hands to form croquettes. For best results, consider using smaller molds for uniformity, which will also help them cook more evenly during steaming.
-
Steam the Croquettes: Place the shaped croquettes into a steamer and cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until they are firm and have risen slightly.
-
Prepare for Frying: Carefully remove the croquettes from the molds and cut them into pieces of your desired size. Dip each piece into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.
-
Coat with Breadcrumbs: Roll the egg-coated croquettes in breadcrumbs until evenly coated, giving them a delightful crunch.
-
Fry to Perfection: Heat cooking oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy. Once fried, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Vegetable and Beef Croquettes warm, as an appetizer or main dish. They pair beautifully with a dipping sauce or a side salad.
Tips for Success
- For a more visually appealing result, use smaller molds to create bite-sized croquettes. They will also steam more quickly.
