  • Scoop a little filling with a spoon and roll with your hands into a ball of about 4 cm. Roll this ball first through the breadcrumbs, then through the egg and again through the breadcrumbs. Place them on a plate and repeat until the filling is used. Put in the fridge for 30 minutes.

The crust:

  • Mix the breadcrumbs with the paprika powder, the aniseeds and the salt
    Beat the two eggs.

Prepare the mayo:

  • With the mixer or blender, mix the mayonnaise, anchovies and black pepper into a smooth sauce.

Notes

Spicy carrot croquettes, a recipe of mine that was published in the Foodies monthly magazine. A snack of which that you can never make enough of. A surprising combination of carrot and anise that combine wonderfully. My family and friends think they are super tasty and I am now often asked if I want to prepare those “special” croquettes again…
