This is a very fussy recipe, and I know it must be the best croquette! I make the chicken croquette that I learn from my friend's Dutch Grandmother. I love them. Thank you

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Thanks Jams, of course there are lots of different delicious recipes passing thru generations in families since more than a century "lucky us" thanks for watching

[@urbanchili]

I have lived in Holland I have really missed these. Don't know why I thought they contained mashed potatoes. Going to make these soon. Thank you for the original recipe.

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Your most welcome and have a nice day !

[@peteyzerman1434]

The Dutch do make them out of potato which makes them very bland. Stick to making them with veal or beef, tastes way better even if it takes longer, They are worth your time.

[@princessmehu87]

Oh nice

[@duffysolomon1322]

One of the best recipe in KZbin. Thanks a lot Sir

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Thank you for dropping by and a happy day to you!

[@duffysolomon1322]

I been in Casablanca and I went to Harbor Restaurant, they served the fish croquette with amazing souse..I think it was a vinegar souse. Thank you for your replay and have a great day,

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

A great place for exotic food indeed, thanks for your kind comment!

[@mermckel9949]

Great video, love the steps of making the ragu. Great music. I've been making croquettes for years from memory of watching a friend of my mom make them when I was 13 years old. Will definitely use this recipe from now on. I also really enjoyed how you included the history of the croquette.

[@jan22150]

What no gloves?

[@jan22150]

Is it possible to use krokketten mix . ?

[@paulrustic6328]

Awesome video thanks, Mum raised in Holland made these for Danish father and not long after were married! Followed your recipe and also sprinkled a small amount of curry powder to the broth. Smell of curry and nutmeg together had neighbours drooling saliva, mission accomplished! Many thanks, well done!

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Thanks fir the kind feedback Paul and a great week to you!

[@paulrustic6328]

Pleasure! As was my first successful attempt following your lead. Love saying "roux ragout" lol.

Lekker Een, lm a Dutch born New Zealander, my parents both dutch used to make these and past on a slightly different recipe but I've tried your one and it just that bit better..hahaha. The history is really interesting I allways though it was a dutch thing, but it shows when you eat snails something's got to give...🤣

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

I was born dutch and for a long time i though the same!

Hey :) I'm from Brazil, and i decided to watch how other countries use to do a Kroket. It's definitely very different from ours. I'll try your recipe. I also recommend you to try our brazilian version, you're not going to be disappointed. Thanks for sharing!

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Thanks Beatriz!

[@wilmapennings7537]

Very nice! I have always used a very old recipe from my Oma in The Netherlands. The roux used milk. I will try the broth this year. Seems that it would be very tasty! Also I make them smaller. Happy New Year!

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Yes you are right about the milk, a number of old recipes refer to bechamel. Happy new year to you all!

[@wilmapennings7537]

Made the meat filling today. Cooling in the back room. Cold enough here in Ontario. I will let you know how they turn out tomorrow. Possibly New Year's Day at your home.

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Okidoki!

[@PaulsRumpelkammer]

Thank you very much for this recipe. I love the Krokets and especially Goulash Kroket. Unfortunately it's not available in the area for Germany I'm living. So I eat them always when I'm visiting the Netherlands and also bring some frozen ones with me. I'll try your recipe soon. Do you have any hints how do adopt your recipe to get some nice Goulash Krokets? I will also use your recipe as a basis for an experiment to create a low carb style Kroket.

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Thanks for the kind feedback my friend!

[@translator1267]

What is the brand of your cooking pot? I have the stainless steel one but it got burnt when I made kinda sauce

[@pava1324]

Top recept en zeer duidelijke uitleg ! Super ! Wel 1 vraagje : is toevoeging van gelatine wenselijk om het de massa nog beter te laten opstijven ? Thanks en veel succes. Patrick

[@bertmessemaker]

Wow, deze zien er geweldig uit... Dikke duim UP

Ja , ik maak kroketten gewoonlijk op een meer eenvoudige wijze, eerlijk gezegd!

[@danpoppy4118]

Hi. Can you freeze the mixture and defrost to fry another batch another day????

[@esalenchik]

You can freeze the finished croquettes and then deep fry them for a few minutes when still frozen.

[@Dykhopper]

mooi gedaan!! Net als die van moeder!!..except...heb ik altijd een probleem...soms is het ragu TE nat...dan als ik flour erbij doet , dan smaakt te foury, if you know what I mean...als, ik heb broth over, en als ik het alles wil gebruiken is het erg veel te nat? What should I do?

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Beter niet alle broth gebruiken en langzaam op de goede dikte aanbrengen.

[@happymv5350]

Heerlijk!!

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Dankjewel!

[@robingagan6288]

For me the music was a bit loud, but liked the recipe and subscribed

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Thank you very much, your right, the first videos i made are quite loud!

[@akbarallardfreichmann2938]

There was a time people didn't know administrative borders only natural ones. Nationalities divides humans.

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

Yes, but in these times did the Neanderthals made beef croquettes?

[@allardfreichmann3733]

We are still the Neanderthals.

I just buy them in the supermarket, really cheap and really fucking nice

[@Dykhopper]

sorry, I mean foury, it tastes too floury.

[@SellYourHomeEZ]

laughing, you put so much meat in... my husband gave me crap cause it was way too much when i made them last time, i bought some from dutch store (canada) and there is meat in there if you look hard lol... so i paid $2/each at the store, i am making them now and try to put hardly any meat in so he'll like it 'like his mother made them'... ugh

[@thegourmetgambit4238]

When you buy them in the Netherlands they don't have that much meat, it's just the way you like em.

[@tonydebruyne257]

Holy crap this would be very expensive to make.....
