Ingredients
- Flour: 4 tbsp
- Onion: 2
- Balsamic Vinegar: 1.5 tbsp
- Leek: 1
- Mushrooms: 200 g
- Garlic: 2 cloves
- Butter: 30 g
- Flour (additional): 30 g
- Milk: 1 liter
- Salt and Pepper: to taste
- Bread Crumbs: as needed
- Egg: 1
- Virgin Olive Oil: as needed for frying
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat.
- Finely chop the onions and sauté them, stirring occasionally. Once they soften and turn golden brown (after about 7-8 minutes), add the sugar and vinegar. Continue to cook on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture begins to caramelize, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Finely chop the garlic and vegetables. In another skillet, sauté them with a drizzle of olive oil until they are well cooked and begin to brown. Set aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter until it boils. Add the flour and stir until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pot. Add the milk, vegetables, and onions and continue stirring until the mixture thickens into a dough-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Once the mixture has cooled, form it into small sausages or balls with your hands. Dip them in beaten egg, then roll them in bread crumbs.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and fry the croquettes until they are golden brown. Once cooked, place them on paper towels to remove excess oil. *Use any vegetables you have available.
