This year, I focused quite a bit on Christmas appetizers, as we already have a ton of recipes for Yule logs, Christmas roasts, cookies and the like. And it's perfect because that's the theme of the Advent calendar of recipes organized by the blog Echos Verts!

So here's my second contribution, and you can find my first Christmas appetizer here. I really loved these cromesquis, especially with the touch of ginger, actually :)

  • 1. Peel the onion and finely chop it.
  • Dice the mushrooms into small cubes.
  • Peel the ginger and chop it finely.
  • In a frying pan, heat the olive oil. Sweat the onions in it. Add the ginger.
  • When the onions are translucent, add the mushrooms. Cook until all the moisture has evaporated and the mixture begins to brown.
  • Pour in the cream and remove from heat. Season. Allow the mixture to cool down.
  • Next, add 150g of breadcrumbs to achieve a workable texture. Shape about ten large meatballs and place them in the freezer for a night (or at least 4 hours).
  • The next day, mix the cornstarch with 100 mL of water. Coat the meatballs by dipping them in this mixture, then in the breadcrumbs, then back into the water and cornstarch mixture, and once again into the breadcrumbs.
  • In a large saucepan (or a deep fryer if you have one, even better), heat the liter of neutral oil.
  • Submerge the cromesquis (I do it in two batches, groups of 5 for a few minutes each so that they become nicely golden. The cromesquis are ready; you can eat them right away. If you want to serve them a bit later, you can also put them in the oven for 5 minutes at 180°C (356°F).
