Beef Croquettes And Bitter Balls

A service that might attract the lost would be one that does not hide the transcendent, but reveals it. A service that might attract the lost would be one that does not deliver more of the same, but that shows forth the One. A service that might attract the lost would be one heaven bent on giving a map, rather than celebrating being lost. A service that might attract the lost would be one that panders to those who are sick of being pandered to, by refusing to pander. A service that might attract the lost would be one that offers discomfort to those who are sick and tired of being comfortable… If anyone is seeking, he is seeking what he has not found in the world.

From cookbook "Let's Go Dutch Again" by Johanna Bates and Jan
Walrabenstein.  In a large saucepan, place the meat, carrot, parsley
and water. Bring  to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling reduce the
heat and simmer for  Meanwhile, heat the margarine in a Dutch oven. Add
the flour, salt and  spices and stir until you have a roux. Heat and
stir for 2 more  minutes and then let the roux cool down.  Once the
meat mixture is done, reheat the roux and stir in the meat  mixture
gradually. Stir vigorously and bring to a low boil. Once all  the meat
mixture is added, maintain a low boil for 15 minutes.  Spread the meat
mixture on cookie sheets with sides no higher  than1/2". Brush with a
bit of melted butter to prevent a crust from  forming. Cool overnight
in the refreigerator.  The next day, make cylindrical shapes
(croquettes) or smallish balls  (bitter balls) from the stiff mixture.
Roll the cylinders through the  breadcrumbs, then through the egg
whites and again through the  breadcrumbs, then freeze.  Place the
frozen croquettes in preheated oil and deep-fry about 5  minutes or
until they are golden brown. ( I have deep-fryed them  ahead of time
and reheated in the oven. This avoids the smell when  you have a house
full of guests). Yield: approximately 30 croquettes  Can be servied
with Dutch-style coarse mustard.  DAVE <DAVIDG@CLAM.RUTGERS.EDU>
