Kroketter var en fornem måte å bruke kjøttrester på. Ingefær var et vanlig krydder i norsk borgerlig kjøkken rundt 1900, og sherrysausen gir retten et selskapelig preg.
Make a thick base
Chop the leftover meat finely. Brown 1 tbsp butter, stir in 2 tbsp flour and thin with 2.5 dl meat stock. Bring it to a good boil.
Mix the filling
Stir the chopped meat, 2 eggs, ¼ tsp pepper, ¼ tsp ginger and salt to taste into the mixture.
Shape and fry
Shape the mixture into small sausages, roll them in crushed rusk crumbs and brown them in butter or cook them in cooking fat.
Make the sauce
Brown 1 tbsp butter, stir in 1 tbsp flour and thin with 5 dl meat stock. Bring to a good boil and add a glass of sherry.
