There will be time for croquettes with cabbage and mushrooms later, as the mushroom-picking season is just getting started. However, this doesn't mean you have to wait for savory crepes. A delicious meat and vegetable filling works just as well, especially when you use leftover meat from dinner. This way, nothing goes to waste, and the whole family can enjoy unbelievably tasty croquettes.
Manor croquettes
These croquettes are crispy and delicious; their preparation is a piece of cake. They differ from classic meat croquettes in that the mixture can also include zucchini or onions. For the filling, you can use leftover meat from the previous day's dinner, such as roasted filet or pork neck.
To enhance the flavor of the filling even more, you can add grated cheese or a handful of chopped herbs. Red bell pepper also works well—this recipe is a great way to clean out the fridge of leftover vegetables.
When preparing the crepes, remember not to add sugar to the mixture. You can immediately fry a larger batch, using some for the croquettes and reserving the rest for sweet servings.
