Ham Croquette

Ingredients:

2 cups of minced ham.
Green bell pepper (chopped).
1 whole onion (chopped).
1 tbsp chopped garlic.
1 tsp minced green chili.
Salt and pepper for taste.
Lemon juice (half a lemon).
1 tbsp dijon mustard.
2 tbsp parsley.
1 stick of unsalted butter.
2 tbsp all purpose flour.
1 cup of milk.
1 egg, beaten.
Bread crumbs.
Oil for frying.

To make the white sauce mixture: Heat a skillet and melt some butter and saute the chopped bell pepper and the onions until it looks soft. Saute the flour together with the onion mixture. Cook it for a while, then gradually pour the milk and stir it until the mixture thickens. Take it off the heat, and add some salt and pepper for taste.
Allow the mixture to cool. Stir in the chopped ham, mustard and the lemon juice with the cooled sauce mixture and refrigerate for a few hours.
To make the croquettes, take a spoonful of the mixture and shape it oblong in your palm, dip it in the beaten egg, then roll it in the bread crumbs and deep fry. Serve hot with salad.
