Chicken Beef Croquettes (Pozharsky Kotleti)
When I was in college, my roommate was from Russia and his specialty in the kitchen was Chicken and Beef Croquettes – Pozharsky Kotleti as they’re called in Russian. I enjoyed them so much every time he made them, I just had to learn the recipe and I’m sharing it with you today.
To make these croquettes, start by mixing all of the ingredients together in a bowl. You can use a food processor but I like to get my hands dirty making these! My top tip when making these croquettes is to fill up a bowl with some cold water to keep hands moist while forming croquette patties. Place 2 beaten eggs in a second bowl and add Italian bread crumbs to a third bowl. Form the croquettes by shaping them with your hands and dipping them first in beaten egg, followed by breadcrumbs. Saute in batches and serve these delicious croquettes with potatoes, pasta, quinoa or salad – whatever takes your fancy!
To make Chicken and Beef Croquettes, you will need the following ingredients:
