Ham Croquetas Reviews

Spanish Serrano Ham Croquetas - these are a world away from the frozen potato affairs you find skulking at the bottom of supermarket freezers. You'll find these croquetas gracing some of the best pintxos bars in San Sebastian. These are entirely hand-made not with potato but with a thick bechamel made from the local milk of the region. Hand rolled and coated in breadcrumbs they are made using the best ingredients. In this case using 16 month cured reserva serrano ham. Making your own croquetas is great fun but this not only takes out some of the hard labour but ensure your getting the authentic croquetas experience made with top quality Spanish ingredients. They make a perfect tapas or pintxos, just deep fry from frozen in medium hot oil until golden brown on the outside or shallow fry in small batches, turning often, until a lovely, crunchy golden colour for 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Come frozen in trays of 12 croquetas of approx. 50g each. Cook from frozen.

Tasted elicious, but they didn't look like your photo when cooked! I have a friend who deep fried some straight from th freezer but they all fell apart, so put mine straight from the freezer into a very, very hot oven on a baking tray, and they all split and fell apart. What is the answer?

Good morning Pauline, Thank you for your feedback, the best way to cook the croquettas which our executive chef recommends is as follows: Simply, deep fry from frozen in medium hot oil until golden brown on the outside or you can shallow fry in small batches, turning often, until a lovely, crunchy golden colour for 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. If you need any further help, please don't hesitate to give us a call :-) Kind regards Miles - 01937 845767

Delicious! My only concern was about refreezing them as they arrived refridgerated but had defrosted.
