How to Make Meat Croquettes

First, boil or roast the potatoes, then mash them. You can use a grater or a potato masher for this. Cook the lamb meat by roasting or boiling it, then cut it into small pieces. Place the mashed potatoes and vegetables in a large bowl and mix them together, using a fork if needed. Shred or chop the lamb and add it to the mixture, along with the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then mix all the ingredients together using your hands.

Take a portion of the meat croquette mixture with your hands and shape them. Divide the mixture into 12 equal rolls. Roll them in a bowl of flour until they are fully coated. Gently shake them to remove any excess flour.

Take a medium-sized bowl and crack the two eggs into it. Add a little salt and pepper to the eggs, then whisk them until well combined. In another dish, pour in the breadcrumbs. Dip each roll first into the egg mixture, then coat them with the breadcrumbs. Make sure the entire surface is covered with breadcrumbs. You can repeat this step a few times to create a thicker coating. Arrange the meat croquette rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). In a frying pan, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and place it on medium heat to heat up. Once the oil is hot, add half of the meat croquettes to the pan and fry them. After 6 to 8 minutes, when one side of the croquettes turns golden, flip them to fry the other side. Repeat this process for the remaining croquettes.

Once the fried croquettes are done, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. After all the croquettes are fried, arrange them on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven.

While the meat croquettes are in the oven, prepare the mint sauce. To make the mint sauce, first, place the chopped mint leaves in a small bowl. Add the brown sugar and then pour 2 tablespoons of hot water into the sauce, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Add the vinegar and mix well. Set the sauce aside to cool.

Take the meat croquettes out of the oven and place them on a large serving platter. Pour the mint sauce into a small bowl and serve it alongside the croquettes and potatoes. Enjoy!
