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.

I must admit to being a little disappointed with these, especially having had the goats' cheese ones previously. There was very little ham in them and the taste was negligible. This also meant the overall seasoning / taste was not as good as well. Such a shame as i was looking forward to them so much. They also didn't keep their shape as well when frying. As I mentioned before when reviewing the goats' cheese ones (which are scrumptious), the crumb is a bit too fine and compact for my taste but that is just what I am used to when I make croquetas at home (I use something in between the consistency of a fine breadcrumb and panko). These are not bad but not what I had hoped for or expected, especially given how delicious the goats' cheese ones are.

Probably didn’t fry them correctly as they collapsed in the pan but saved them and reheated the next day served with fried eggs for breakfast - delicious!
