Croquetas de Jamon
Also known as: Croquetas de jamón
Crisp ham croquettes with a rich dairy filling.
About Croquetas de Jamon
Sergio and Javier Torres present these ham croquettes as a classic preparation. Diced ham sits within a dense filling enriched with homemade ham stock, milk, cream and butter.
Shallots add an aromatic note beside the savoury ham. The stock draws flavour from ham bones, a pig’s foot, onion, carrot, celery and leek.
The filling forms small balls beneath flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs. Their golden, crisp coating contrasts with the compact, creamy interior.
