Last week, on the 16th of January, food lovers around the world were enjoying tasty treats prepared especially for International Croqueta Day. We hope you had a bite as well! We are not forgetting about the famous Spanish tapa now that the celebrations are over. On the contrary – we are taking a closer look at the history of the snack loved not only in the Iberian Peninsula. January is a great time to talk about croquetas because they are an ideal winter snack and the very definition of comfort food. Crispy, salty, hot, full of flavour… croquetas simply tick all the boxes. As it is often the case with tapas, the preparation method varies from region to region and from bar to bar. Family recipes for perfect croquetas are well-guarded secrets of many households as well. Although the world knows and loves croquetas as the Spanish national culinary treasure nowadays, the origins of the delicious snack lie in the 19th century French cuisine. The name derives from the French verb croquer to which the diminutive suffix -ette is added. Some sources credit Monsieur Escoffier, known as the father of classical French cuisine, for the original recipe. Others state that the famous chef Marie-Antoine Carême, considered “king of chefs and the chef of the kings”, made it famous by serving his version called croquettes à la royale (royal croquettes) during noblemen’s banquets. In the French version, creamy potatoes were often used instead of the bechamel sauce. We are not sure when and how the recipe for croquettes left France, but we know that it quickly spread around the continent and took the world by storm. Always made of thick bechamel sauce, breaded and deep-fried, these bite-sized snacks contain various additional ingredients. One of the most popular versions is called Croquetas de Jamón. If you are a big fan of Serrano ham, it can become your personal favourite. Other well-known types of croqueta filling owe their special taste to pollo (chicken), bacalao (codfish), cocido (stew) or pulpo (octopus). Vegetarians prepare croquettes with different types of queso (cheese), espinacas (spinach), setas or boletus (mushrooms). This list could go on forever as Spanish chefs can get very creative with the traditional recipe. Follow their lead! It is never too late to celebrate your own Croqueta Day. Food Lover Tour. 2020.

上周,即1月16日,世界各地的美食爱好者都在享受着为国际槌球日特别准备的美味佳肴。我们希望你也能吃上一口! 庆祝活动结束后,我们并没有忘记著名的西班牙小吃。恰恰相反,我们正在仔细研究这种不仅在伊比利亚半岛受到欢迎的小吃的历史。一月份是谈论croquetas的好时机,因为它们是理想的冬季小吃,是舒适食品的定义。酥脆、咸味、热气腾腾、风味十足......croquetas简单地勾选了所有的方框。 就像餐前小吃的情况一样,不同地区和不同酒吧的制作方法都不一样。完美的croquetas的家庭食谱也是许多家庭精心保护的秘密。 尽管现在全世界都知道并喜爱croquetas,认为它是西班牙的国宝级美食,但这种美味小吃的起源是在19世纪的法国菜中。这个名字来源于法语动词croquer,并在其上加了一个小的后缀-ette。 一些消息来源认为,被称为法国古典美食之父的埃斯科菲尔先生是原始配方。还有人说,被认为是 "厨师之王和国王的厨师 "的著名厨师Marie-Antoine Carême在贵族的宴会上提供了他的名为 "皇家丸子"(croquettes à la royale)的版本,从而使其出名。在法国版本中,经常使用奶油土豆来代替豆瓣酱。我们不确定炸丸子的配方是何时以及如何离开法国的,但我们知道它迅速传遍了欧洲大陆,并在全世界掀起了一场风暴。 这些一口大小的小吃总是由浓稠的焦糖酱、面包和油炸制成,含有各种附加成分。最受欢迎的版本之一叫做Croquetas de Jamón。如果你是塞拉诺火腿的忠实粉丝,它可以成为你个人的最爱。其他著名类型的croqueta馅料归功于polo(鸡肉)、bacalao(鳕鱼)、cocido(炖肉)或pulpo(章鱼)的特殊味道。素食者则用不同类型的奶酪、菠菜(espinacas)、沙丁鱼或牛肝菌(蘑菇)制作丸子。这个清单可以一直列下去,因为西班牙厨师可以对传统食谱进行非常有创意的处理。跟随他们的脚步! 庆祝你自己的克罗克塔日永远不会太晚。 美食爱好者之旅。2020. 关于西班牙炸丸子的一切。[在线]可登录:https://foodlovertour.com/blog/all-about-spanish-croquettes/。[2021年1月21日访问]。 Grapevine Properties. 2020. 你需要知道的关于槌球的一切。[ONLINE] Available at: https://grapevinelifestyle.com/2020/04/24/all-you-need-to-know-about-croquetas/.
