How to make Kroket: Dutch Beef Croquette from scratch

[@JaniceThrush]

I took a tour in Marken, Netherlands and watched stroop waffles being made. She told us that putting them on top of a hot drink was how they were traditionally heated and eaten!

[@remcovanandel2976]

Dank je voor de video ! Love bread with kroket !

[@gabriellavanamen9219]

Just love your video of The making of kroketten. Easy to follow and will make them for sure. Thanks for sharing from Ontario Canada.

[@johannah4785]

Born in Nederland but moved to New Zealand in 1956. Returned in 1969 and then again last November 23. All i ate was krokets, patat, saurkraut, drop, bitterballen, ollieballen. But krokeys has been my favorite for 70 years. I made YOUR krokets yesterday and am about to roll and cook. Thank you very much Toine. I have subscribed.

[@ToinesKitchen]

Thank you so much for your message. I hope you enjoyed them.

[@rinamiller4606]

I made these, and they turned out great! Much better than other recipes I've tried.

[@charliependers7998]

Toine, thank you so much for this video! I made them exactly like you demonstrated and they turned out DELICIOUS! I have been making bitterballen as well and will look for your other videos.

[@davislongsworth7150]

I am going to make these. My grandmother used to make beef croqette out of left over Sunday roast and served them with brown gravy for Monday night supper. Wish I could cook with you! You are a really cute guy too!

[@miekezevenhuizen7387]

Makes my mouth water!! 😅 Brilliant recipe, thanks

[@FrenchieDutch]

Man this is amazing thanks for sharing!!!

[@fransvanderwerf7485]

Felt Home again in Utrecht walking the Steenweg again and pulling one of these from Febo. Tried your way and it was just great and very Dutch as they should be 😀 Hope you come again with more things mate! Tried a lot via our videos and can tell that they are really great!

[@petronellajames8656]

De Steenweg in Utrecht! Ja hoor, ik weet het nog. Na 45 jaar in New Zealand.

[@glennvanzuylen3582]

I can’t wait to make these . Thanks

[@keyboardmouse7699]

So much work but so worth it. Thank you for this video.

[@ToinesKitchen]

You’re welcome! it definitely is worth the effort.

[@sonjapasa974]

Thanks for this great video ….. live in Lake Tahoe Nevada and realized I’d love to make it but would just rather get them at Febo ….. on my way to make my flight reservations 😄

[@Soundlight-ny9bl]

nu heb ik nog een probleem, het water loopt uit mijn mond, het ziet er zo lekker uit blijf doorgaan Toine😊😊👍👍

[@ToinesKitchen]

Dat ben ik zeker van plan!

[@Jonathan-tz7ss]

I loved bitterballen when in the NL, so I've made a bunch of kroket/bitterballen recently (in the UK) I used a beef and a mushroom stock for the broth and just used minced beef that I had left over I absolutely love them, I'm going to be enormous if I continue making them though.

[@lauraruseno]

Hello! Indonesian with dutch descent here. I was looking for some authentic Kroket recipes when i found your channel. I just surprised that it is not made from potatoes like my late mother and grandmother used to make. This is more like bitterbalen to us (but then i also saw your bitterbalen video 😅). And also we usually enjoy our Kroket with slurry sweet and sour sambal, or fresh chilies. This made me realized how all the recipes has traveled in history and modified throughout time 😀 Thanks for your recipes 😀😀🙏🏻

[@ToinesKitchen]

Potato kroket is on my list of recipes to post in the new year! I love the sound of slurry sweet and sour sambal with a kroket… I’ll have to look that up and make it!

[@lauraruseno]

@@ToinesKitchen I guess only people from Sulawesi eat kroket with slurry sweet and sour sambal, bcause it's not a common thing in other parts of Indonesia. I am looking forward for the potato kroket recipe 😀 and goodluck with your channel! 👍🏻

[@ToinesKitchen]

@@lauraruseno What is the Indonesian name for that sambal?

[@lauraruseno]

@@ToinesKitchen some call it sambal cuka, or sambal jalangkote (sambal for fried pastry). It's basically sambal with vinegar, sugar, and cornstarch to make it slurry (i guess so, i never made one from scratch tho 😅). It's so good with fried snacks 😀

[@Awkdrsmn]

I think this is the original kroket recipe, cause this is what you get when u visit the netherlands, such as FEBO! Honestly, the original dutch kroket is way better then the Indonesian kroket (potato based).

[@shalacarter6658]

They look delicious! But, what a lot of work. :) I can see why people eat them in the restaurants.

[@blackscorpion65]

Helemaal super!! Ook deze ga ik maken want na een paar jaar zonder kroketten missen we ze wel 😁 Bedankt voor deze top video 🎉

I'm british descent but my stepfather was dutch and he showed me a lot of dutch goodies, this is is one of my favourite snacks. you do yours differently from what I learned, but I want to try your recipe (wtih curry modified)

[@ToinesKitchen]

Fantastic!! There are so many variants of this!

[@jazmin6031]

Wow, is a lot of work! But I live in Mexico and I know my dutch boyfriend would be happy with this :)

Can you make Dutch croquettes in the air fryer?

[@AkademiaBalonow]

[@frankozrin5611]

Omg, love your videos, so easy to follow 😍

[@ToinesKitchen]

Thank you!!

[@yiqiqinqin]

This used to be my favorite snack when I studied in the Netherlands. Many years have passed since I left Wageningen, and, oh, I still miss this bite. Thanks for teaching us how to make it-definitely going to try it!

[@narader1]

Toine my question is what part of a Brisket do you use. I am in Texas and we break our whole briskets down. Is the Flat or point good enough and do you leave any fat cap and then clean it up after?

[@ToinesKitchen]

I use the flat for this. You don't want too much fat in with the rich roux. I do trim excessive fat of the flat.

[@marypound5834]

Thanks so much for doing this recipe. I’m in Ontario Canada and could not find the correct recipe . My dad would make these occasionally. When I’m in Holland I always buy them.

[@ToinesKitchen]

You’re very welcome!! It takes a bit of time, but it’s very worth it.

[@enzonjoo]

Hey Toine! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Wondering if I can replace the bouillon cubes and gelatin with some demi glace that's been cooled down and turned gelatinous?

[@ToinesKitchen]

Using Demi glacé would be a good replacement for the cubes. But I’m not sure if it has enough gelling “power” without adding some gelatin.

[@enzonjoo]

thanks you for the quick reply! Happy Holidays!@@ToinesKitchen

[@arsulaksono881]

de meest gedetaileerde video van kroketten maken.. die roux lijkt wel moeilijk, maar ik ga toch maken... Mijn favoriete snack toen ik nog op universiteit was en uit de muur bij stations haalde.. Bedank Toine !

[@ToinesKitchen]

Het zijn veel stappen, maar het resultaat is het het waard!

[@hannelienel8327]

Thanks for your recipe, I want to make, 12 dozen kroketten how much meat, flower and butter will I need. Thanks again for your recipe enjoyed watching. Hannelie

[@odetedasilva1322]

I don't have a pressure cooker, how long do I cook the meat in the normal pot?

[@ToinesKitchen]

A few hours, on low heat.

[@theshamanshadow]

Oh man thank you so much, I'm totally subscribed now, you can trust I'll be simulating this exact recipe to the T, absolutely well done, I'll never forget these when ate em on 2007

Loved this! Wish you could buy these in Perth W.A tho, a lot of work involved 😕 😢 😞

Waarom in het Engels Toine en dan moet ik ook nog ergens anders het recept op scharrelen... en ik had zo`n trek in een kroket hier in Oostenrijk, maar nu is de dag voorbij, evengoed vriendelijke groet Klaas.😂😂👍👍

[@LaraLerud]

Did you use beef bouillon or chicken bouillon? Dank je wel. Ik kan niet wachten om het te maken:)

Beef bouillon.

[@berniesnook3973]

Can ready store bought beef broth be used?

[@ToinesKitchen]

Absolutely. But you’ll still have to cook the brisket to shred it, though.

[@yvonnebrink9912]

My mother made these but not very often as they time consuming...i cheat and but them from the dutch store that gets them from a dutch kroket company...but they are expensive...i may give this a try....what if you dont have a pressure cooker....can you cook meat on stove???

[@ToinesKitchen]

Yeah, you can use a crockpot, or just make the stock on the stove.

[@JokeDeAth]

Bedankt voor de demonstratie. Kan je kroketten in een 'air fryer bakken?

[@ToinesKitchen]

Het kan wel... ik vind ze zelf lekkerder uit het vet... maar, zet ze even in de vrieskast, en dan kun je de buitenkant met een beetje olie bespuiten, en dan in de airfryer. Ietsje langer, en een beetje lagere temperatuur.

[@elenida22]

Heb je een recept voor frikandel? Dank u!👏

[@ToinesKitchen]

Volgende week

[@brunomacedo5045]

Hum top ... ik ben gek op kroketen !

[@SIRA063]

what can i use instead of nutmeg

[@ToinesKitchen]

Allspice (same amount) or cinnamon (1/3rd amount) or you can just omit it.

[@sophiah8794]

What kind of bullion? Also can I make using my air fryer?

[@pointdexter5215]

I'm going to have to try it. As a Belgian living in the US since 1998, I have been making many dishes from back home myself, but bitterballen and kroketten have been challenging, with different recipes tried. Many recommend different types of cuts of beef, and often cheaper waste meat. It's interesting you use brisket, and use the instant pot. Going to try this soon! Where are you located in the US? I'm in Nebraska. Groeten!

[@ToinesKitchen]

Let me know how they come out! I am on the East coast.

[@adamsamuel13]

Lol it always disappears in my home 😂 n not one piece.. it goes in pieces 😂 it's fantastic.. I never learned how to make these n having a dutch/Indonesian dad n grandparents i really miss these beautiful krokets.. thank you..

[@ToinesKitchen]

My pleasure 😊

beside brisket can we use any other part

[@christycochran4591]

There is a debate with some of our Dutch friends that Curry is also supposed to be added. What are your thoughts?

[@ToinesKitchen]

I don’t think so… not in a “traditional” kroket. However, there are “Kerrie kroketten”

Muito bom 👏👏

[@dianalagrouw4431]

Hallo vanuit Spanje, Toine! Na de Smoor Djawa is dit het 2e recept dat ik probeer. Door de goede uitleg heb ik maar 1 vraag: de eerste paar kroketten, die eet je dan koud? Want na een uur bakken van de rest van de kroketten .... 🤷🏼‍♀️ ik maak bij elk recept foto's, dus die zal ik sturen. Groetjes en bedankt voor alle mooie recepten

[@ToinesKitchen]

Als ze niet meteen opgegeten worden, houd ik ze warm in de oven.

What is brisket in Dutch

[@ToinesKitchen]

Runderpoulet of borststuk

[@ToinesKitchen]

Hello! Welcome to our channel!

[@benvanmaanen7059]

What oil do you use please?

[@ToinesKitchen]

Ik gebruik grapeseed oil. Je kunt ook safflower of canola gebruiken.

[@654maray]

Can these be frozen

[@ToinesKitchen]

Absolutely… you can freeze them before frying, and then fry on demand. Or freeze them after frying, and then reheat in oven.

[@samt.1369]

Hello, Is this recipe as good as Febo kroketten? :D

[@ToinesKitchen]

In my opinion? Better :D

[@rucksackransack]

That looks delicious but a lot of work especially the almost two hours of frying them one at a time. What about using a deep fryer or an electric skillet to hold the temperature of the oil? Also can we use rice dream or other non dairy instead of the milk in the egg? TIA.

[@ToinesKitchen]

Yes a larger deep fryer would speed that up. You can definitely use non-dairy milk, or water in the egg.

[@rothschildianum]

Febo is not good! Taste likes a cheap kroketten.

[@ToinesKitchen]

@@rothschildianum smaken verschillen!!

[@rucksackransack]

Starting this now. Going to have to let the meat and broth cool a day and a half. Hope that’s ok.

[@ToinesKitchen]

Yeah, that will be fine.

[@emphyrio]

Fantastisch!! Vraag: kun je de kroketten voor het bakken invriezen ( en dus per batch van 4/5 later bakken)?

[@ToinesKitchen]

oh ja, absoluut!!

[@gerardlunow567]

As a Dutch person living in US for 40 years, never made kroketten. My daughter just came back from my sister who lives in Alkmaar and guess what i need to make . . .:) This recipe will do it. Thank you!!

Awesome! Let me know how they came out.

[@tessb3039]

❣️👍

[@fentonanita2909]

I don't have a pressure cooker just a slow cooker *sniffs*

[@ToinesKitchen]

You can use the slow cooker: put the same ingredients in and cook on low for 6-8 hrs. You probably won’t have to cook down the liquid then. Add the bouillon cubes after the meat and vegetables are out, and stir to dissolve

[@alidavanderkruk7428]

Goeie dag, ek is van Suid Afrika, my skoonouers het vanaf Nederland na Suid Afrika in 1970 geiimmigreer. Ek het krokette by hulle geleer. As ek mag vra waarom sit u Gelatine in die roux? Ek het 'n eg Suid Afrikaanse variase gemaak met Crispy Bacon en Cheddar Kaas. Heerlik hoor

Hallo Alida! Ik doe gelatine in de roux zodat als het afgekoeld is, het een beetje stijver is, en makkelijker te rollen in kroketvorm.
