Kroketten (or croquettes) and Bitterballen (small croquettes) are a real Dutch treat. The last two years we spotted a couple of tasty varieties appearing in the market. We have made a list of them.<\/p>\n

For years I used to make this Dutch treat at home, using recipes from the book \u2018The great culinary croquettes cookbook<\/a>\u2019 by Edwin Kats, and of course I always got compliments! Truly amazing are the game croquets from this season but the croquettes with smoked eel are very special as well. We even wrote about croquettes with snails and goose meat on Horecatrends, both of whom are no longer for sale, but it truly indicates that the possibilities are endless! ^ Marjolein<\/p>\n

Our list; croquettes in the leading role<\/h3>\n

1. CROQU\u00c9TJE! a pulled pork-croquette<\/h3>\n

Sausage-maker Paul van den Hooven from Wild Vleesch in Rotterdam, has developed his own croquette under the name of CROQU\u00c9TJE!<\/a> The first CROQU\u00c9TJE is a croquette with pulled pork which contains meat that is smoked low & slow on a barbecue.<\/p>\n

2. Croquette made of Shiitake mushrooms<\/h3>\n

A croquette with Shiitake mushrooms. Shiitake<\/a> mushrooms are healthy, delicious and a good substitute for meat. FungiFuturi grows delicious and super nutritious mushrooms in the cellar of an abandoned office building in Eindhoven. They are crowdfunding an innovative snack line of mushrooms. The first product of the line is the shiitake croquette, they presented these croquettes during the Dutch Design Week last October.<\/p>\n

3. Bieterballen, croquettes with beetroot<\/h3>\n

The vegetarian Bieterbal<\/a>, from Jonathan Karpathios of restaurant Vork & Mes. It\u2019s content? Beet, beet and even more beet! The Bieterbal is available in wholesale at: Deli XL, De Kweker, HANOS and VHC de Jongens. The Bieterbal has also been nominated for the Dutch Horecava Innovation Award 2016<\/a> in the category Food & Beverage.<\/p>\n

4. Bitter Balzz, a bitterbal with insects<\/h3>\n

At BUGZZ<\/a> they make food with insects. Their goal is to bring the durable snack, the \u2018Bitter Balzz\u2019 in production. They reached their target amount by 117% on their crowdfunding page. We recently ran into them on the Foodfestival in Amsterdam, where they were already completely sold out halfway Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

5. Croquette made from 100% organic spelt<\/h3>\n

The first croquette and bitterbal worldwide made from 100% organic spelt<\/a>. Prepared with fresh spices, vegetables and the best organic beef, made by Royal Spelt.<\/p>\n

6. Restaurant Valuas\u2019s gluten free croquette<\/p>\n

Star restaurant Valuas (*) in Venlo has developed a gluten free croquette<\/a>. The gluten free croquette is made from ragout of corn, rice and 36% pure beef and contains a crust made of rice.<\/p>\n

7. Croquette made from the queen of vegetables<\/h3>\n

Kwekkeboom introduced a croquette made of the queen of vegetables<\/a>, the asparagus, in 2013. Since I regularly make a variety of the bitterbal with asparagus in the leading roll, this croquette proves that you can make endless variations with the salpicon of the croquettes and bitterballen.<\/p>\n

8. Arancini, the Italian bitterbal<\/h3>\n

Lightly fried balls made from risotto with a core of mozzarella and smoked ham. Simple and a delicious appetizer! Italian restaurants would have their own variation of \u2018our\u2019 bitterbal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9. Sichuan Bitterballen<\/h3>\n

For her Sichuan bitterballen Robin Kok used \u2018Sichuan style red boiled beef\u2019 that includes ingredients like ginger, chilli bean sauce, rice wine and Chinese dark soy sauce. The Asian bitterballen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

10. Chef Thor<\/h3>\n

Chef Thor<\/a> makes bitterballen with different flavours and flavours you won\u2019t expect, such as spinach with Dutch blue cheese, coconut curry with peas or scrambled eggs with porcini mushrooms and truffle. The traditional Dutch concept of a kroket, but just something different and delicious without meat. Chef Thor has been around for six years and have seven different flavours, all vegetarian.<\/p>\n

11. Fingerfoodballs<\/h3>\n

Scelta Mushrooms<\/a> is the founder of a healthy alternative for the snack range: the Fingerfoodballs. The Fingerfoodballs are vegetable snacks that doesn\u2019t contain artificial colors or flavors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
