Croquettes With Plantain Pumpkin Seed Mozzarella And Pancetta Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Boil the potato in one pot until completely soft/cooked through. Whilst the potato is boiling, boil the plantain pieces (skin on) in another pot until very soft (slightly overcooked). The plantain will become more yellow and begin to push out of the skins.
• Mash together the potato and plantain thoroughly in a bowl. Mix in the plain flour, then leave the mix to cool.
• Once cooled, take about a tablespoon of the mix and use your hands to roll it into a ball around 3.5-4 inches wide (adding or removing some of the mix as necessary).
• Use your finger or the end of a spoon or fork, to create a deep hole in the ball (around three quarters way through the ball) for the filling, making sure not to poke all the way through. Carefully stuff the hole with either pancetta or mozzarella.
• Take a little more of the mix to create a small 'lid' to cover the hole, then use your hands to carefully roll the ball again to re-shape it as necessary.
• Repeat to create around 8 pancetta balls, and 8 mozzarella balls.
• Use a spoon on your hands to cover each ball completely in the beaten egg, and then in the breadcrumb and pumpkin seed mix. Do this twice for each ball to ensure it is sufficiently coated.
• Set out the croquettes on a plate or tray ready to fry and heat the oil over a medium-high heat in a large frying pan.
• Test the oil is ready with one croquette first: it should begin to sizzle and fry immediately. If the croquette browns/blackens almost immediately, reduce the heat.
• Shallow fry the croquettes until they are a deep golden brown, rotating as necessary. Quickly and carefully remove the croquettes once browned with a spatula or tongs to avoid burning and set aside on a plate lined with kitchen towel (to help drain any excess oil).
• For the suya mayo, mix together the Japanese mayonnaise and suya spice thoroughly.
• Enjoy the croquettes very warm with the suya mayo as a dip.

Steps:

• Combine thawed hash browns, flour, salt, pepper, and eggs in a bowl.
• Take a piece of cheese and wrap a palmful of the mixture around it, shaping it into a tot (you may have to squeeze out some excess moisture to make it nice and tight).
• Fill a large, deep skillet halfway with oil and heat over medium. When the oil is hot, drop in some tots, turning them along the way until they're crispy and golden brown. Let cool a bit.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the ground meat, minced garlic, chopped parsley, harissa, salt, paprika, cumin, coriander, sumac, turmeric, fennel, black pepper, garlic powder, and cinnamon.
• Use your hands to combine mixture, making sure not to overwork the meat.
• Grab a small handful of meat and push half a mozzarella ball into the center. Use your hands to gently roll the meat into a ball, sealing tightly where the mozzarella ball is nestled. Repeat until you have around 16 meatballs.
• Over medium-high heat, add olive oil into a saute pan or skillet. Once the oil is hot, drop the meatballs in and leave room so that they are not sticking to each other. As they cook on the pan, sprinkle a pinch of salt on each side.
• Allow each side of the meatball to get a nice dark brown sear before using a spoon to turn them over. Repeat this process until you have even browning.
• Once the meatballs are seared perfectly all around, lower the heat and cover for a bit (about 2 minutes) to make sure they're fully cooked in the center.
• Garnish with chili flakes for an extra kick and chopped parsley and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Smush the crisps into little bits.
• Cut the chicken breast into small bite sized chunks.
• One at a time, add a piece of chicken to the bag and shake it around a bit. Squeeze to help the the crisps stick to the chicken.
• Continue until you have either run out of chicken or crisps! (don't eat any leftover crisps that have come into contact with the raw chicken).
• Place the coated chicken onto a baking tray.
• Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven for 12 minutes at 200°C/400°F
• Serve with ketchup, mayo or whatever you like!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, water, coconut milk, eggs, salt, and turmeric until smooth. (If any clumps remain, run mixture through a sieve.)
• Using a sharp-pointed knife (a corkscrew or nail works just as well), poke three holes in the cap of a plastic water bottle.
• Fill the bottle with your pancake batter.
• Heat a very lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working quickly, invert the water bottle and drizzle the batter in quick circular motions forming a netlike pattern.
• Allow the pancake to cook for one to two minutes. Do not flip and watch closely so it doesn't burn.
• Remove from pan, fold in the sides, and roll up. Serve with curry.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot with enough cold water to cover them. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until there are no large chunks left.
• Add the garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, 1 beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Take a spoonful of potatoes and form into a patty.
• Place a cheese stick in the middle and wrap the potato around the cheese until it is evenly covered.
• Arrange the formed croquettes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Place the flour, 3 remaining eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Dredge the croquettes in the flour, shaking off any excess; then dredge in the egg and the bread crumbs.
• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Fry the croquettes for 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Transfer the croquettes to a wire rack set over paper towels to drain the excess oil.
• Let cool for a few minutes as they will be HOT.
• Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley and serve with marinara sauce alongside.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place a hot dog on a slice of cheese, then roll the cheese slice around it. Push a wooden skewer through the cheese-wrapped hot dog, then place seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs. Freeze for 20 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Once fully combined, mix in the milk, egg, and jalapeño. Stir until the batter is smooth and without lumps. You may need to add 1 or 2 tablespoon of flour; the batter should be thick enough to cling to the hot dog. Pour it into a tall glass for easier dipping.
• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Holding the tip of the skewer, take a frozen hot dog and dip it fully into the batter, lifting it out, then rotating it to let excess batter drip off. Using tongs, carefully place the battered dog into the hot oil. Hold it fully submerged for 30-60 seconds until a crust forms, then rotate it so that it fries evenly. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs. Serve with mustard for dipping.
• Enjoy!
