Ingredients
  

  • 150 g Oxtail (already stewed and boned)
  • 1 onion
  • 50 g Flour
  • 2 Eggs
  • 600 ml Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • Bread crumbs
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • We begin by chopping the oxtail meat and the onion very well, if we want to add it. In a frying pan with a drizzle of oil, cook the onion over medium heat.
  • In the same frying pan, add a tablespoon of butter; when it is melted, add the flour and let it toast while stirring, so that it does not burn.
  • When the flour is golden brown, add the warm milk (you can substitute the milk for the broth from the oxtail stew, or add half and half) and stir well to break up the lumps. When it begins to thicken add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix well
  • Add also the oxtail and everything together for a few minutes. If the béchamel sauce is too thick, add a little more milk. When it has the desired texture, leave the mixture in a deep duck and wait until it cools down, at room temperature.
  • Once cold, store it in the refrigerator and let it rest for at least a couple of hours (ideally overnight).
  • When the dough has rested, we are going to make the croquettes. Prepare the eggs in a deep dish, with a little salt and beat well.
    In another dish, put the breadcrumbs.
  • Once everything is ready, using two spoons we are going to shape our croquettes. We dip them in the egg and bread. Once ready, we fry them in abundant oil once it is very hot. When they are fried, remove them to a plate with absorbent paper to eliminate the excess of oil.
    Your chicken and ham croquettes are ready.
