Dutch kroketten (and it's small, round 'bitterballen', so called not because they are bitter but because they were served as snacks in bars to accompliment 'bitters', aka herbal/spiced alcohol) are basically deepfried gravy. You make a meat roux with bouillon and flour and some parsley, roll that in breadcrumbs and deepfry it. Gooey and delicious!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562054102424623341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-71731682136452878392009-09-06T05:00:59.950-04:002009-09-06T05:00:59.950-04:00hmmm i think you could make a sandwich with the cr...hmmm i think you could make a sandwich with the crab cake<br />you could slice the avocado, put some garlic or roasted red pepper aioli on the bread and then put the crab cake in<br /><br />mmmm... that sounds good i think i'm hungry nowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-38602625029236380822009-08-20T09:16:17.085-04:002009-08-20T09:16:17.085-04:00You need 1 can of crab and 1 can of artichoke.

I just finished trying your crab, potato, artichoke croquette and my first batch was more like nuggets than croquettes. I think it might have been to my misunderstanding of which weight to follow. For example, your recipe list says 14oz artichoke bottoms and and 8 oz crab meat. A can of artichoke bottoms and crabs has a net weight of 7.4 and 4.25. Do I go by the net weight or the overall weight? Thanks again and keep up the great videos and recipes.shenzkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109756340335625746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-72323744708471465852008-05-15T14:01:00.000-04:002008-05-15T14:01:00.000-04:00egg yes, milk no.

I think next time I'll boil the potato as the final mix seemed on the dry side. I added some chopped cilantro I had on hand, about a half cups worth. I seasoned with salt, pepper, Old Bay, and Chipolte pepper. I made 6 croquettes, each the size of a small burger. We ate 2 of them last night, pan fried. They were quite good and my girlfriend liked them somewhat better than I did. For me, the interior just wasn't quite hot enough (I do like my food piping hot). We'll have two more tonight and I'm going to deep fry them instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-20628593832422439142007-05-02T18:53:00.000-04:002007-05-02T18:53:00.000-04:00oh, and the tallest guy, we just called him Stretc...oh, and the tallest guy, we just called him Stretch.<BR/><BR/>As far as shortest...there was a pretty short dude, I forget the name, i think he got into politics at one point.... oh yeah, it was Dennis Kucinich, who was old man Kucinich's kid.Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-27998641963871385602007-05-02T18:48:00.000-04:002007-05-02T18:48:00.000-04:00no, i wasnt upset, i was serious about liking thos...no, i wasnt upset, i was serious about liking those kind of comments.

So I added a little Old Bay seasoning, garlic, horseradish and Parmesan cheese to your mixture. I really enjoyed it without all the calories. Yum :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
