Categories     appetizer

Time 1h40m

Yield about 2 dozen croquettas

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups mashed potatoes, leftover or freshly made
1/4 pound manchego cheese, frozen 1 hour then finely chopped with a food processor (1 cup), plus shaved manchego cheese, for serving
6 ounces serrano ham, frozen 1 hour then finely chopped in a food processor (1 cup)
2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Romesco Sauce, for serving
Chopped chives, for serving
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 poumd roasted red peppers, drained
*1 egg yolk
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 teaspoon orange zest and 1/4 cup juice, from 1 orange
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl or in the food processor combine mashed potatoes, cheese, ham and eggs. Season with plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper. The mixture should still be wet enough so the bread crumbs stick to the croquettas. Form into croquettas (makes about 2 dozen, medium-sized) and dip into panko bread crumbs, seasoned with salt and pepper. Pat lightly so the crumbs stick. Lay out on a tray, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before frying.
  • To fry, heat 1-inch of vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or heavy bottomed pot, over medium heat to about 360 degrees F. Fry in small batches, turning once until evenly browned. Each batch should take approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with kosher salt. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with chives and shaved manchego. Serve with Romesco Sauce.
  • Toast almonds in a skillet over medium heat until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer almonds to a blender. Add roasted red peppers, egg yolk, garlic, zest, and season with salt and pepper. Pulse a few times to combine the ingredients. With the blender on low speed drizzle in the olive oil. Once it begins to emulsify, stop the blender and add the orange juice, and sherry vinegar. Buzz once more to fully emulsify.
  • *RAW EGG WARNING
  • Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs. Due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

PAN CON TOMATE WITH SERRANO HAM AND MANCHEGO CHEESE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

All-purpose flour, for dusting
One 1-pound ball pizza dough, at room temperature
1/2 pound heirloom tomatoes
Arbequina olive oil, for drizzling
Sea salt, for sprinkling
6 ounces shaved Serrano ham
4 ounces manchego cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and place the dough on top. Dust your hands as well and begin to stretch your dough, working in a circle. Stretch the dough until it is 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place the dough on the grill and cook until charred on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
  • Clean and remove the stem ends of the tomatoes. Place them in a food processor and pulse to break them up. Strain the tomato pulp through a large fine-mesh strainer to remove some of the liquid.
  • Spread the tomato pulp over the top of the cooked pizza dough. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with sea salt. Top with the Serrano ham and manchego cheese. Drizzle more olive oil over the top.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your crostini will taste. Look for Serrano ham that is thinly sliced and has a deep red color. Manchego cheese should be firm and have a nutty flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When grilling the crostini, make sure to leave enough space between each one so that they can cook evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the crostini while they are grilling. They can burn quickly, so it's important to watch them closely and flip them as soon as they start to brown.
  • Serve the crostini immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Grilled Serrano ham and Manchego cheese crostini are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. They are perfect for a party or a casual get-together. With their smoky flavor and gooey cheese, these crostini are sure to be a hit with everyone.
