CROQUETTES

Ingredients

• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 cups Bread crumbs
• 4 cups Oil for frying (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1 bunch Parsley sprigs (For garnish)

Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until just combined. Do not overmix; a few air bubbles are fine.
2. 2Combine the ingredients as directed in your croquette recipe. Roll the mixture lightly between your hands into a ball. Spread bread crumbs evenly on a board. Roll the ball lightly in the crumbs to form a cylinder shape, and flatten each end. Ensure the croquettes are of uniform size and shape.
3. 3Dip each croquette into the egg wash, using a spoon to completely moisten it. Lift it out with a knife blade and roll it again lightly in the breadcrumbs. Ensure every part is entirely covered to prevent grease absorption.
4. 4Lay the coated croquettes aside on a dish, not touching one another, for at least an hour before frying to firm the crust. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the croquettes until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. 5Serve the croquettes hot on a platter, spread on a napkin, and garnish with sprigs of parsley.
