*I diced leftover sliced ham thus my "cubes" were on the flatter side. Whole or sliced (not deli) ham would work.

My thoughts:
Why don't nosotros swallow to a greater extent than croquettes inwards this country? When nosotros were inwards Belgium, I ate a ton of croquettes aux crevettes (shrimp croquettes) in addition to inwards planning our upcoming trip to Portugal, it looks similar Lisbon is lousy amongst beef croquettes (croquetes). Occasionally nosotros mightiness brand a fish cake but they aren't every bit fun every bit the petty log-shaped croquettes that are thus abundant elsewhere. I'd similar to modify that. I made these using leftover spiral-sliced ham in addition to simply onion in addition to garlic but they were super flavorful in addition to surprisingly easy. When nosotros went to a cooking cast inwards Brugge, the chef showed us how to brand croquettes aux crevettes but he had a large pan of flour in addition to milk glue ready to become thus all you lot needed to practise was scoop roughly out in addition to mix inwards the shrimp. That truly isn't practical for the habitation fix thus I came upward amongst this recipe which makes the "paste" on the stove trapping the ham inside. The croquette is a delight; crisp on the outside, melty in addition to warm on the inside.

 Saute until the onion is soft in addition to translucent Ham Croquettes
