Croquette
Croquette
Croquette (/krɒˈkɛt/; from the French croquer, "to crunch") is a type of food item that is typically made from a thick binder combined with a filling, which is breaded and deep-fried, and served as a side dish, snack, or fast food worldwide.
Etymology
The term "croquette" is derived from the French word croquer which means "to crunch". This refers to the crispy exterior of the croquette which contrasts with its soft interior.
Ingredients
The binder is typically a thick béchamel or brown sauce, or mashed potatoes. The filling can vary and may include vegetables, meat, fish, or cheese. The croquette is then breaded using bread crumbs or flour, and deep-fried.
Variations
Different countries have their own variations of croquettes. For example, in the Netherlands, a popular type of croquette is the kroket, which is filled with a meat ragout. In Japan, korokke is a common dish, typically filled with mashed potatoes, ground meat, and vegetables.
