Turkey & Ham Croquettes (a la Monica)
Make sure you know how to DEEP FRY before attempting this recipe. Be safe. Wear oven gloves and long sleeves
when dropping/removing croquettes into/from the hot oil.
With the ham, cut off a few lean pieces.
Shred both meats to small, crumbly bits in a Magimix. There will be a large mound.
Leave aside.
First, make a ROUX: microwave a quarter of good butter (not marge or spread) and into
the liquid butter add plain flour and beat slowly with a spoon until you get a soft paste. Season lightly. You now have your ROUX.
Now, heat your whole milk *gently*, add some black pepper and IF you want cheese: grate in
some blue cheese/cheddar/Gouda into the milk. (I love blue cheese! - stilton etc)
Keep adding teaspoons of the roux until the milk mixture starts to thicken.
Bash any lumps until you have a smooth cream consistency. (strain out any lumps).
Leave to cool.
When cool, add the turkey/ham crumbs to the béchamel sauce. Mix well. Season.
Leave to cool. Then put mixture in fridge to chill for an hour, or more. (Go for a long walk!)
Put three egg YOLKS into one bowl and mix until you have a yellow yoke liquid.
Put a mound of fresh breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
Remove chilled béchamel mix from fridge.
Dip it into the egg mix, cover the whole surface and then dip it into the breadcrumbs & cover completely.
Repeat for all the mixture.
Then chill the croquettes again in the fridge.
CAREFULLY, SLOWLY, bring the pan to a roiling boil. DO NOT LEAVE THE PAN UNATTENDED.
They should be a rich, brown toasted colour. You can always lift one out to a plate, make a small cut from coating into the centre and check the temperature of the INSIDE of the croquettes with your finger.
