Alright, so I’ve been wanting to try some French cooking for a while now, but I also wanted to keep it vegan. Sounds tough, right? But I dove in anyway, and let me tell you, it was quite the adventure.
First, I scoured the internet for some recipes that looked good and weren’t too crazy complicated. I stumbled upon this idea of making vegetable croquettes, which sounded pretty delicious and crunchy. I mean, who doesn’t love a good croquette?
So, I gathered all my ingredients. Lots of veggies, of course. I chopped up some carrots, potatoes, zucchini, and onions. I also grabbed some breadcrumbs, flour, and some spices from my pantry.
Making the Mix
Then came the fun part. I boiled the potatoes until they were soft and mashed them up. I sauteed the other veggies in a pan with a bit of olive oil until they were tender. Once everything was cooked, I mixed it all together in a big bowl. I added some salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg for that extra flavor.
Forming and Frying
Next, I shaped the mixture into little croquettes. This was a bit messy, but kind of fun. I coated each one in flour, then dipped them in a mix of plant-based milk and flour, and finally, I rolled them in breadcrumbs. They looked pretty good, if I do say so myself!
After that, I heated up some oil in a pan and fried the croquettes until they were golden brown and crispy. This took a bit of time, and I had to be careful not to burn them.
The Taste Test
Finally, it was time to taste them! I served the croquettes with a simple side salad and a vegan dipping sauce I whipped up.
- They were super crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- The flavors all came together really well.
Honestly, I was pretty proud of myself. It was a bit of work, but totally worth it.
So, if you’re looking to try some vegan French cooking, I definitely recommend giving these vegetable croquettes a shot. They’re tasty, satisfying, and a fun way to get your veggies in!
I am so excited! I plan to explore more vegan French recipes. Hope next time I can make something as good as this time. If you guys want to see that remember to come back to check my blog!
