Crispy Beef Brisket Croquettes

Ingredients

Main Components:

- 1 lb beef brisket, cooked and shredded
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Breading & Coating:

- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk

Sauce & Frying:

- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:

- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of the unsalted butter.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent, approximately PT5M.
- Stir in the shredded beef brisket, beef broth, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
- Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and the mixture thickens, about PT10M.

2. Create the Dough:

- In a separate pan over low heat, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter.
- Gradually whisk in the flour to form a roux, cooking for PT3M until golden.
- Slowly add in the milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Combine this with the beef mixture and stir in the chopped parsley.
- Transfer the mixture to a dish and refrigerate until firm, around PT1H.

3. Shape and Coat the Croquettes:

- Once the mixture is firm, scoop and shape it into 1-inch balls.
- Dip each ball into the beaten eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly.

4. Deep Frying:

- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the croquettes in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately PT4M per batch.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. Prepare the Sauce:

- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey.

6. Serve:

- Serve the croquettes warm with the honey-mustard dipping sauce.
