Ingredients
Croquettes:
500g
pale smoked haddock fillet
700ml fish stock
60g butter
60g plain flour
1 tablespoon coarse grain mustard
50g grated mature cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Salt, pepper and nutmeg to season
500g home-made bread crumbs (with 200g flour and 3
whisked
eggs for coating)
Mixed salad leaves and fresh herbs eg. dill, chives,
fennel
Mustard
Dressing:
2
egg yolks
4 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon caster sugar
1 teaspoon English mustard
2 tablespoon coarse grain mustard
200ml sunflower oil
Salt, pepper and lukewarm water
Method
Croquettes:
- Bring
500ml of your fish stock to boiling point, add the
haddock and then remove from heat to cool down.
- When
cooled, remove haddock from fish stock then flake
the haddock.
- Top
up the juices with fish stock until you have 500ml
again, set aside for next stage.
- Melt
the butter in a pan, add the flour and cook for 1
minute, remove from heat and add the fish stock from
the first stage. Put the pan back on a low heat and
bring to the boil slowly. Simmer gently until a “thicker
than sauce” consistency has been achieved, stirring
constantly.
- Gently
stir in the flaked haddock, chives, mustard and grated
cheese and season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Allow
to cool then pipe into a continuous sausage shape
of 3cm diameter on grease-proof paper, then refrigerate
overnight.
- Cut
into 10cm logs and prepare a breadcrumb station.
- Dip
croquettes into the flour, then whisked egg and then
finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are totally
covered.
- Place
in a deep fat fryer at 180°C until golden brown. (Test
one first - if the croquettes are breaking repeat
the egg/breadcrumb step).
Mustard
Dressing:
- Put
egg yolks in a liquidiser, add sugar, English mustard,
vinegar and salt and pepper.
- Turn
on the machine and pour in the oil very slowly until
you have a thick emulsion.
- Add
coarse grain mustard and use some lukewarm water to
get the right pouring consistency.
