Perfect Grilled Dutch Kroketten on the Arteflame Grill

Introduction

Creating the most flavorful and visually stunning dishes is made easy with the Arteflame grill. The Arteflame sears meat at over 1,000°F for a steakhouse-quality sear and allows you to cook all your other food on its flat top griddle. This Dutch Kroketten recipe showcases the grill's versatility, providing a perfectly even sear without ever burning the food. Always remember to remove the food from the grill when the internal temperature is 15°F below the target, as it will continue to cook after removal.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked and shredded beef or chicken
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to form a roux and cook for 2-3 minutes. Gradually add the broth, whisking continuously until thickened. Stir in the shredded meat, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
2. Form the Kroketten: Once the filling is cooled, shape it into small logs or cylinders. Dip each kroket in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Place them on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Alternatively, form the kroketten into patties as they will grill more evenly.
3. Preheat the Grill: Fire up your Arteflame grill to medium-high heat to get it ready for grilling.
4. Grill the Kroketten: On the flat top griddle of the Arteflame grill, heat the vegetable oil. Place the kroketten on the griddle and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve: Remove the kroketten from the grill when they are crispy and golden. Let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips

• Ensure the filling is completely cool before shaping the kroketten to maintain their shape.
• Adjust the heat zones on the griddle to cook the kroketten at the optimal temperature.
• Serve with mustard or a dipping sauce of your choice for added flavor.

Variations

• Try using different meats such as pork or turkey for a unique twist.
• Add finely chopped onions or garlic to the roux for additional flavor.
• Experiment with different seasonings like paprika or cayenne for a spicier kick.

Best pairings

• Pair the kroketten with a light green salad for a balanced meal.

• Enjoy with a cold beer or a crisp white wine to complement the flavors.
