Meat croquettes

Traditionally we use the stock mixed meat to cook this recipe. When you finish preparing meat broth you have to separate meat and broth. You use the broth as a soup and you can reuse the meat for different recipes.

This is one of them, it's not a healthy dish, this is not either an easy dish, but it is a cheap, and this is a good reason to include it to our list of dishes.

You may need:
- Beef, pork and chicken meat
- 1 Onion
- 3 tbsp Flour

So, you take the cooked meat and make little pieces of meat and take off the bones.

Once you have the meat ready, cut the onion in small pieces and put them in a pan onto the heater with olive oil (5 tbsp). When you notice that the onion is already tender, then add the meat in the pan and wait until it is fried, and add progressively tablespoons of flour to it. You may notice that the mix turns into a kind of homogeneous pastry; it means that it is ready.

After that you have to put it in a container and leave it to stand in the fridge until the day after. Next day, you take the pastry with 2 tablespoons and shape the pastry like a croquette.

When you finish, beat one egg (or two, depending on the number of croquettes), take a big container and add breadcrumbs. Cover the croquettes with egg and then with breadcrumbs. Once you have the croquettes ready, you can give them a proper shape and after, you just have to fry them.

They are really delicious and very cheap, as you have used the same meat to make a complete course (broth and croquettes). We eat them with white bread and you may take it also as a snack. However, we have to admit that this is a quite a laborious dish to prepare.
