Ingredients:

Broth:

  • 300 gram TOK breast filet
  • ½ onion
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 sprig Par-Cel celery
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 pepper
  • 500 ml of Water

Dough:

  • ⅓ cup De Molen [All Purpose Flour]
  • 300 gram TOK breast filet
  • 60 gram butter
  • 1 twig Par-Cel celery
  • 300 ml broth
  • 150 gram breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg + 1 tablespoon of water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

 

Preparation:

Broth:

  1. In a pot add TOK breast filet, onion, sliced ​​carrots,Par-Cel celery, salt, garlic and a whole pepper. Fill your pot with just enough water that all ingredients are not visible above water. Then bring to a boil for half an hour.
  2. To make the croquettes it is necessary that the broth is not too hot. This prevents the formation of lumps and guarantees delicious croquettes. So let it cool down for a while.
  3. After cooling, take out the TOK breast filet and tear it into thin pieces. Set it aside for later.

Dough:

  1. Start by melting the butter over medium heat.
  2. Once the butter starts to turn light brown, you have to add all De Molen flour at once, while you keep stirring with a whisk.
  3. Warm up the flour and butter mixture for 2 min. while you keep stirring(it will be a granular and dry mass).
  4. Then add small dashes of the broth to the mass while stirring. Only when all the moisture has been completely absorbed, do you add a new spoonful.
  5. Repeat this until the entire broth has been absorbed into the dough and it has a creamy consistency.
  6. Add the TOK pieces of chicken and Par-Cel Celery and mix this through the batter for 2 minutes on a low heat. Season with some salt and pepper.
  7. Pour the mixture onto a plate or a flat dish and let it rest for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  8. Prepare a plate with the breadcrumbs in it.
  9. In another plate, mix the egg and a tablespoon of water.
  10. Remove the mixture from the refrigerator, cut out a piece at a time and form a croquette in the shape of a thick roll or a ball.
  11. Dip the croquette first completely in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs, again in the egg and again in the breadcrumbs. Try to do these steps as quickly as possible. Otherwise the mass will become less cool again and it will be impossible to make decent croquettes.
  12. Heat the oil in a pan to 180°C and, depending on the size of your pan, fry a number of croquettes at the same time. The baking time is about 4 minutes.
  13. Drain on a sheet or parchment paper and serve immediately.
