Steps

4-5 hours Inc cooling time

1

Sautee onion slowly until
2

Cook mussels and king prawns. I used steamer so that they don't overcook
3

Peel king prawns and reserve heads to continue boiling for flavour
4

Chop cooked mussels and prawns very finely
5

Make a bechamel sauce: slowly melt butter and incorporate as much flour as it takes. Add milk stirring continuously so that sauce thickens but doesn't stick
6

Mix a stock cube into the water from boiling prawns heads. Add this stock to mussels and prawns and mix with the onions.
7

Season bechamel with salt and nutmeg and mix with the seafood and onion mixture
8

Let it cool in a cold place (conservatory in winter works fine)
9

Form the croquettes with two tablespoons
10

Roll in egg and then in breadcrumbs
11

Fry in oil and serve hot

Chemist by trade. Inspired by my grandad to grow my own crops. I hate waste and found a hobby in the art of pickling, jamming and marmalading. Although most of my creations end up as presents I must admit that others happiness makes me proud of my hard work.
