Wij hebben kroketten gemaakt.....lekker!!

English translation....
We made krokets.....yummy!!
September 1, 2008

We have been very disappointed with the
quality of the krokets we were buying at
the Dutch store.
So, we decided to make our own!
Eveline had the recipe, so she taught
Tessa and I the ropes.
We were very eager pupils, and look forward
to the next kroket-apalooza!

First we made a ragout with spices and meat,
which is spread it on baking sheets to cool.
We rolled the mixture into shape, covered in breadcrumbs,
dipped in egg, then breadcrumbs again.

This was a VERY messy process,
but we were hopeful that the hard work
would pay off to a delicious result!

We, of course, managed to have a few laughs!

I got teased for being a bit anal retentive.....
almost all of my krokets were
the same size!
Don't they look pretty?!

The other great part about this tasty Dutch treat
is that they are deep-fried.....

......and covered in mustard!
(We had them on buns, but you can be a purist
and eat them on their own.)
They were delicious!!
We did very well for our first attempt,
and we all had happy, full bellies
to prove it!
