Ingredients

(12 units)

  • 7 oz bacon
  • 10 dates, pitted
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • Grated nutmeg
  • 13.5 fl oz milk
  • Salt to taste

FOR THE BREADING:

  • 2 eggs
  • Flour
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Flax seeds
  • Oil for deep frying

FOR THE BLACKBERRY-STRAWBERRY SAUCE:

  • 1/2 cup blackberries
  • 5 strawberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Preparation

Cut the dates into halves and then into julienne.

Mince the bacon.

Melt the butter in a large pan. Once melted, add the bacon and brown it over low heat for a few minutes. Add the dates and stir.

Once the mixture is properly sautéed, add flour and cook stirring for a few minutes until integrated and slightly brown.

Season the mixture, pour the milk in a thread, and stir until thick.

Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and allow to cool at room temperature. Then put in the fridge and let it rest for at least 4 hours.

For the breading, form balls with a similar size and coat them in flour, then dip them in beaten egg, and then in a mixture of breadcrumbs and seeds.

Fry in batches until brown.

For the sauce, mince the strawberries and blackberries and put them in a pot with the tablespoons of sugar. Boil until the sugar dissolves completely and the sauce thickens.

Serve the croquettes with blackberry-strawberry sauce.
