Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the sauce. Place all the mayonnaise in a bowl, mix it with sugar and mustard. Chop the spinach and remaining herbs (set aside 2 tablespoons of chopped herbs for the croquettes), crush in a mortar, add 2 tablespoons of cold water, mix well, and strain the juice through a cloth. Combine with the mayonnaise. Dice the fresh cucumbers and green onions, add to the mayonnaise. The sauce is ready.

Step 2

Separate the yolks from the whites. Cream the butter with the yolks, adding them one at a time. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Step 3

Cut the ham into small cubes, mix with the butter and yolks, season with pepper, add the breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons of chopped herbs, then fold in the whipped egg whites, mixing the entire mass well.

Step 4

Form one croquette into a small sausage shape and drop it into boiling broth. If it holds its shape and does not fall apart, you can make croquettes from the remaining mixture; if it falls apart, add more breadcrumbs to the mixture and knead well.

Step 5

Cook over low heat. When all the croquettes float to the surface, cook them for another 2-3 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon onto a sieve to drain the broth, place in a deep dish, cool, pour over the sauce, and serve.
