Here you go, another Spanish recepie for you to enjoy. I know, I know I have been giving you hard ones, but I have confidence in all of you and I know you can do it.

    100g Serrano Ham
    75g plain flour
    75ml extra virgin olive oil
    1 litre milk
    Salt
    Nutmeg (optional)
    2 eggs
    Breadcrumbs
    Olive oil (for frying)

How to cook:

  • Chop the ham into small pieces
  • Warm the milk
  • In a frying pan, but not on the heat, mix the flour with the oil and very slowly add the warm milk stirring all the time.
  • Place the pan over a medium heat and add the ham, a pinch of salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and begins to come away from the edges of the pan.
  • Transfer the mixture into a square dish and leave to cool.
  • When the mixture is cool, cut into equal sized pieces.
  • Mould the pieces into oval shapes and dip each piece into the beaten eggs and then roll in the breadcrumbs.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan (you need enough oil to cover the croquettes) and fry until golden brown.
