Difficulty People Time
Medium 8 75 minuti
Ingredients
500 g pre-cooked beets
470 g stale bread
200 g potatoes
100 g ricotta Sterilgarda
1 Egg
7 g fine salt
140 g Grated Parmigiano Reggiano DOP
1 Sprig of thyme
q.b. black pepper
150 g breadcrumbs
q.b. seed oil
150 g Cooking Cream Sterilgarda
Preparation
  1. Boil the potatoes for about 30 minutes. Once cooked, drain and let cool.
  2. From the stale bread, obtain 370 g of crumb, removing the crust and then forming cubes.
  3. Cut the beetroot into cubes, set aside and move on to peeling the potatoes.
  4. Once peeled, mash the potatoes and place them in a blender together with the Sterilgarda Ricotta and the beetroot.
  5. Blend everything until you obtain a smooth mixture and then add the egg, salt and bread cubes.
  6. Blend again and add the Parmesan. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add black pepper and thyme.
  8. From the resulting mixture, scoop out 50g of dough with a spoon and, using another spoon, create quenelles. Then, roll them in breadcrumbs and gradually transfer them to a tray.
  9. Pour plenty of seed oil into a pan and heat until it reaches a temperature of 140-150°C. Once the oil has reached the ideal temperature, add a few pieces at a time until golden brown (about a couple of minutes). Drain on paper towels.
  10. For the accompanying sauce, pour the Parmesan cheese into a small saucepan, add the Sterilgarda Cooking Cream, and mix everything together. Let the cream cook for a few minutes until it thickens.
  11. Salt the croquettes to taste and serve with the cream cheese.
