INGREDIENTS

Chicken And Ham Croquettes

DIRECTIONS

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the shallot or onion. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until soft. Stir in the flour, salt, paprika, and nutmeg, and cook 2 - 3 minutes more.
  • Gradually add the chicken broth and bring to the boiling point. Stir 1/4 cup of the sauce into the egg yolks, and then return the yolk-sauce mixture to the hot sauce.
  • Add the chicken and ham, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 4 - 5 minutes. Pour into a shallow bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Shape into small cones, 1-1/2 inches at the base and about 2 inches high. Dip into the beaten egg and roll gently in the bread crumbs. Set to dry on a rack or a piece of wax paper.
  • Heat 3 inches of oil in a heavy pot, until medium hot-360°F. Add the croquettes, and let them brown, turning them, on all sides. Drain on paper towels and place on a warm platter and serve with the sauce.
