Steps:
- To make the croquetas, melt the butter in a medium saucepan and gently fry the onion for 3 mins or until lightly coloured. Stir in the flour and cook for 30 secs. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, and cook over a low heat for 5 mins until thick and glossy. Stir in the ham, cheese, mustard and cream, and season to taste. Cook for 1 min more until the cheese melts, stirring constantly.
- Pour into a bowl and cover the surface with cling film to stop a skin forming. Leave to cool, then chill for 4 hrs or overnight - the mixture needs to be very stiff to form the croquetas. Take heaped teaspoons of the mixture and, with wet hands, roll into 24 small oval shapes and put on a tray. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl, put the flour on a plate and half of the breadcrumbs in a bowl.
- Roll each of the croquetas lightly in flour, then in egg before coating in breadcrumbs. Place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Use the remaining breadcrumbs to top up the bowl halfway through the coating process. Chill for 30 mins (or to freeze, see tip, below left).
- Meanwhile, make the tomato chilli jam. Put all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover loosely with a lit and cook for 50 mins - 1 hr, stirring occasionally, until thick and glossy. Leave to cool before serving.
- Fill a large saucepan one-third full with the sunflower oil and heat to 180C (or heat the oil in an electric deep-fat fryer). Do not overheat and do not leave hot oil unattended. Using a metal slotted spoon, lower 6 croquets into the oil and cook for 1.5 mins or until golden brown. Transfer to a baking tray lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess oil, and continue cooking the rest. Serve with the chilli jam for dipping.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet set over medium-low heat. Add the onion, and cook until translucent and tender, about 8 minutes. Whisk in the flour until combined; cook without browning, about 4 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes very thick, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the ham, parsley, lime juice, and nutmeg until well combined; season with salt and pepper. Cook 4 minutes. Remove from heat; spread mixture over a baking pan. Chill, uncovered, about 2 hours.
- Remove the baking pan from the refrigerator. Using your hands, form the ham mixture into 2-inch-long croquettes.
- Pour the eggs and the bread crumbs into 2 separate medium bowls. Dip a croquette into the eggs, then roll in the bread crumbs, coating completely. Transfer the breaded croquette to a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining croquettes. Let the croquettes stand, uncovered, 30 minutes
- Pour 4 to 5 inches peanut oil into a medium saucepan, and heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees. Working in batches, slip croquettes into the hot oil, without crowding, and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes; adjust heat as necessary to maintain oil at 375 degrees. Using a slotted spoon, remove croquettes from oil, and drain on paper towels. Serve with the lime wedges.
CROQUETAS DE JAMON (HAM CROQUETTES)
This is the way my aunt used to make croquetas, with bechamel - an old family and personal favorite. If you don't know what croquetas are, they are deep-fried treats about the length of your thumb and twice as wide. Variations of croquetas are famous around the world, but this recipe is Spanish (although it would truly be Spanish made with Serrano ham, but that's not the way my aunt made it). I used to eat several as a meal but generally these are served as tapas (appetizers/light lunch). These are perfect to throw in the lunch box too! Also, please don't be intimidated by the long list of directions, because in the end this is pretty simple to make. This is a great make-ahead dish too.

Steps:
- Make your bechamel sauce by first melting olive oil and butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add flour to melted butter and mix well with whisk.
- Add 1/2 cup milk to saucepan and increase heat to medium-high.
- Stir constantly to avoid burning, and cook for about 5 minutes or until bechamel has thickened.
- Reduce head to medium and cook for another 10 minutes to allow bechamel to thicken fully.
- Add minced ham and season lightly with salt (as ham is already salty).
- Blend evenly and transfer mixture to a lightly oiled 8 inch shallow dish. Ensure the mixture is even all across.
- Refrigerate mixture at least 2 hours, but overnight is best.
- To make croquetas, shape the chilled ham mixture either with two tablespoons or your hands into a cylindrical shape about the length of your thumb or forefinger.
- Break eggs into a bowl and whisk. Put breadcrumbs seasoned with salt only, if you really want to season breadcrumbs, on a plate.
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium to medium-high heat.
- Dip croquetas into egg and roll in breadcrumbs; do this twice to double-coat them.
- After all croquetas have been assembled, refrigerate them for 30 minutes before frying.
- Fry each croqueta until golden brown and put on paper towel-lined plate. As you cook, you can keep them warm in a low oven.
- I like to eat these alone, or maybe with some steamed white rice and black beans. I hope you enjoy!

- Slowly whisk in milk, 1/3 cup of flour, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Continue to whisk until it becomes a very thick sauce (a roux).
- Add in the cooking wine and ground ham to the sauce. Mix together slowly until all is combined. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the filling to a bowl. Let it rest at room temperature then refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight (the longer the better). The mixture has to harden in order to form into logs and coat evenly. If this step is skipped, it will be very hard to form logs, coat with the breading, and fry. This is an important step. Don't skip it.

- Heat up four tablespoons (around 60 grams) of unsalted butter and 1/4 cup (about 60 milliliters) of extra virgin olive oil in a pan. Keep the flame low and let the butter meltdown before adding anything else.
- Once the butter is completely melted and hot, add one medium-sized onion (very finely diced) to the pan. Sauté for about five to six minutes and move on to the next step as soon as the onion slices start to gain some color.
- Once the onion shows some color, add a pinch of salt and nutmeg to the pan and mix everything thoroughly.
- Add the finely diced Serrano ham to the pan. Mix everything again and cook the ham for a maximum of one minute. Keep stirring the pan to ensure nothing gets burnt.
