Krokiety

A while ago I wrote about Dutch fastfood, if you might have missed it click here.
'Kroketten' are the most interesting example I think. My wife always said that the inside looks like someone already ate it before, until she tried them! She absolutely LOVES Dutch kroketten.

What are they again? A ragout like mix covered with a crust, being deep fried for a few minutes. You could make them by yourself but almost nobody does in the Netherlands. People either buy the frozen variants in a supermarket and chuck them into their deep fryer at home, or go to one of the many cafetarias / snackbars in town to buy the deep fried end product.

Poland also has its own version of 'kroketten', named 'krokiety', a healthier variant I would say. These buddies will be fried normally, not deep fried like in the Netherlands. You can buy them in shops and simply warm them up, but I am not a big fan of these.

Mrs MyWarsawDream's mum makes them from scratch and they are ab-so-lute-ly delicious (minced meat, onions and mushrooms inside).

Barszcz i krokiety
A very tasty combination is to eat krokiety with barszcz czerwony, a soup made from red beets.
