Ingredients

The filling:

50 gr flour
50 gr butter unsalted
250 ml lukewarm milk whole milk
90 gr grated carrot fresly grated
salt and pepper

The crust

80 gr bread-crumbs
1½ t spoon anise seeds
1 t spoon spicy red pepper powder
pinch salt
2 eggs

The mayo:

2 tbl spoon mayonnaise
4 anchovies
black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the filling:

First we melt the butter over a low heat. Add the flour and mix everything well with a spatula. It is the basis for a hearty roux. Let it simmer (max 1 minute)
Remove the pan from the heat and gently add the lukewarm milk. Stir well with the whisk until you get a homogeneous mass.
Return to a lower heat, season with salt and pepper and add the raw grated carrot. Keep stirring with the spatula until you have a firm mass. Place the filling in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
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…
