[Beverley]

“Crispy on the outside, rich and savoury on the inside—these leftover meat croquettes are the ultimate Easter snack upgrade.”

Ingredients​

• 2 cups leftover cooked meat (chicken, lamb, beef – finely shredded or minced)
• 1 medium potato (boiled & mashed)
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 green chilli (optional, finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp fresh coriander (chopped)
• ½ tsp garam masala
• ½ tsp black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 1 egg (beaten)
• ½ cup breadcrumbs

Method​

1. Mix the filling​

In a bowl, combine:

• leftover meat
• mashed potato
• onion, garlic, chilli
• spices + salt
• coriander

Mix well until it forms a soft dough-like mixture.

Shape​

• Take small portions
• Roll into balls or oval croquettes
• Slightly flatten them for even frying

Coat​

• Dip each ball in beaten egg
• Roll in breadcrumbs

For extra crunch: double coat (egg + crumbs again)

Air- Fry at 180°C till golden brown.​

Pro Tips​

• Add cheese cubes inside for a gooey centre
• Use leftover roast from Easter lunch for extra flavour
