Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 units Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 150 grams Gluten-free bread crumbs
• 3 large Eggs
• 125 ml Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 50 grams Gluten-free flour
• 500 ml Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Step 5

Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked beef mixture to a large bowl and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the beef mixture.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs and add the milk, whisking to combine.

Step 9

Add the gluten-free bread crumbs and the egg and milk mixture to the beef, and mix until well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to shape.

Step 10

Using your hands, shape the beef mixture into small, cylindrical croquettes about 2 inches long.

Step 11

Dredge each croquette lightly in gluten-free flour.

Step 12

In a shallow bowl, beat the remaining egg for the coating.

Step 13

Dip each floured croquette in the beaten egg and then roll it in gluten-free bread crumbs until well coated.

Step 14

In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 15

Fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 4 minutes per batch.

Step 16

Use a slotted spoon to remove the croquettes from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 17

Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
