    This is great I love with how much respect to the spanish receipe you cook them! Kudos to that. The responsible of thickening the bechamel are the startch in the flour and the butter. When the butter heats breaks the glucose molecules present in the starch, separating them in small groups. Adding milk at a less temperature the thermal contrast created makes the molecules want to regroup again, creating chains that thicken the milk. One thing with the roux though, if the roux and the milk are at the same temperature you are gonna get lumps, remember the key is the thermal contrast. So couple of options, if the roux is hot use cold milk or room temperature, and if the milk is hot cool the roux that way you will never get lumps. Hope that helps :=)

It looks a bit like the Dutch version (kroketten) only we use a bouillon instead of milk and we add some gelatin to help the ragout stay inside of the kroket. And sometimes we do a double breading if you like a thicker crust. Love your videos and recipes! Keep it up 💪

    James, a tremendous little tutorial on how to do a seemingly simple thing right. I have tried doing this before & nearly succeeded, which is incredible considering how many small details I got wrong. More generally, after finding you via your reaction ‘weejos’ with Uncle Roger, I just wanted to compliment you on this channel. You really are one of the most talented, unpretentious, polite, professional gentlemen in this field, personality & charisma without all the puffed up self importance of many ‘celebrity’ chefs. I still wonder why this particular vocation seems to attract the kind of people who seem to regard arrogance as a badge of honour. Well done sir, you are a joy to watch. At the other end of the country to you, and the north of Spain has some spectacular cuisine, I am a Brit enjoying a passionate journey in cooking in Andalucía. Keep up the great work.

    Hi James. Great presentation. What are your thoughts on using dried and re-hydrated mushrooms alongside with the sauteed chopped mushrooms and using the liquor from the re-hydrated mushroom at the expense of some of the milk? The matter of fact, now I think about it, poaching de-hydrated mushrooms in the milk could really boost the mushroom flavor.

    Hi a few questions. When you put them in the freezer how cool are you trying to keep them? I usually pull mine from fridge after being there a few hours I assume this is similar temp just rushing it? Also if you cook in advance of serving, is there an ideal temp to keep em on a wire rack in the oven you recommend? BTW my mom is Basque and Cod ones are very popular there too. Maybe the next recipe? :)

    The freezer will work faster, you want to chill them until they are firm, so the croquetas are easier to pane and reheat until they are warm. Maybe! :)

    Waybackwhen I was in the military, we were deployed to Moron AB, Spain, and since the Army had got there first, we ended up being quartered in Seville. I wish, oh wish, I had been more willing to try new things while I was there. We did experiment a couple times, but everything was SO EXPENSIVE. Whether this was just the exchange rate then, or because the World's Fair was ALSO in Seville at the time, I don't know, but even getting a meal at McDonalds was almost more than my poor budget could afford. I was also just barely out of basic training, so my pay rate wasn't the highest either. This was in, uh..92-93? My memory is getting hazy, but I do remember walking up the little ramps, not steps, in the ginormously beautiful cathedral there, and trying churros for the first time. We also had to snag folks from the also-deployed Canadian Air Forces to translate, because nearly everyone there spoke Spanish and French, not English. The Spanish Air Traffic Control folks we interacted with though, were very nice, very patient. Anyway, intending on trying these.

    Really?! It was expensive in 92. I first visited Spain in 99 it was the peseta and in 99, 1 EUR was equivalent to about 166.3 ESP. I'm sure things did cost more in the tourist places as usual. If you have the chance you should visit again! prices have done up everywhere after Covid

    Casi como las de mi madre. One tip, for Chef James (not pro, but alternative). The best mushrooms croquetas I have made were made with wild Pieazul (Clitocybe nuda or Lepista nuda), they have a super strong flavor, and you can even combine them with a bit of meat. Some people say its a bit of a strong mushroom, but I find it delicious and not that expensive.

    I'm not a chef. I'm an industrial worker. Being an industrial worker/CNC tech/machinist has at least taught me to come up with new ideas about how to make production - especially boring, simple production - effective. So my thought about getting rid of the big granules was kinda simple - "why a sieve, why not just a broad comb?" Surely it'd be faster to comb away bad stuff than putting it all thru a sieve? Tell me if that makes sense or if I'm being a moron. 🙂
