A tapas classic, Croquettes are a fantastic way to use Skara’s Pork & Roasted Fennel Chilli Salami.  This salami is flavoured with roasted fennel, black pepper and moderate chilli heat. Tip: Panko breadcrumbs absorb less oil, giving a more crisp and crunchy texture.

Ingredients

• 50g (½ packet) Skara Pork & Roasted Fennel Chilli Salami
• 2 cups mashed potato, cooled
• 2 spring onions, finely sliced
• 1 egg yolk (reserve egg white)
• ⅓ cup grated parmesan
• 2 tbsp flour

Coating Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
• 1-2 cups canola oil, for deep frying
• 2 tbsp aioli, to serve
• 1 tbsp chives
• 4 tbsp aioli

Method

1. Combine salami, mashed potatoes, spring onions, egg yolk, parmesan and flour in a large mixing bowl. Once evenly mixed, cool in fridge for 30 minutes.
2. Beat egg with reserved egg white in a small bowl. Place breadcrumbs on a plate.
3. In a small saucepan heat the canola oil. Test the heat by dropping in a pinch of breadcrumbs, if it bubbles it’s ready to cook.
4. Roll chilled mixture into small balls around 2-3 cm in diameter. Coat each ball in beaten egg followed by breadcrumbs. Cook in batches of 3-5 balls at a time. Cook for around 1 minute until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain.
5. Garnish with fresh chives. Serve immediately with aioli dipping sauce.
