Hi, I am a first generation Cuban and I moved to Canberra Australia. the Latin food is non-existent and I love to watch your videos because the warmth of your personality and the excellence of your recipes reminds me of my Granma's kitchen. I have made several of your recipes and it brings my family to Oz with me. Thank you very much!
En Octubre me mude de Miami para California y es un encanto encontrar estas recetas para hacer en la casa ya que no hay panaderia ni restaurante Cubano para el antojo. Muchisimas gracias.
Cynthia Nieves Béchamel sauce. It’s French. You start a béchamel sauce with a roux (also a French word). A roux is basically equal parts fat to flour, so a it’s starter, thickening sauce. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for this recipe Nydia! I'm an Indian married to a Cubano. When I moved to my husband's home in Miami, the first place he took me to was a Cuban bakery to try the pastelitos and the croquetas and it was love at first bite for me! Now with the COVID-19 stay at home routine, we hardly ever go to visit our favorite Cuban bakery to pick up snacks and breakfast. I was searching everywhere for the perfect croqueta de jamón recipe when I came across your channel. I tried making it exactly as you explained, and dear Lord! The croquetas taste exactly like our favorite bakery! I can't thank you enough! You have a fan for lifetime in me! Following your channel and hoping to learn more Cuban recipes so my dear husband can enjoy all his favorite comfort foods at home! 😘😘
This is exactly how my aunt used to make them, I couldn't get the recipe as she passed away, thanks for providing. Will make them soon. These are truly the best croquetas.... like the ones Isla Canarias restaurant in Miami makes ...
This video explained the mystery of how to make perfect croquetas! Thank you, you break it down step by step and give us such great tips to make it easy. When I watch the video, I feel like I'm in the kitchen with an experienced cook.
Gracias Nydia!!! por tu receta de Pastelitos de carne, aqui donde yo vivo no hay Bakery cubano, asi que ya puedo hacer mis pastelitos en Casa. Saludos!!! Gracias por todos tus recetas!!!! From A Cuban in the Carolinas!!
Con esto del Coronavirus como no podemos salir estoy aprendiendo a preparar croquetas en casa, vivo en Miami desde hace 6 anos y nunca se me habria ocurrido aprender a hacerlas hasta que llego el dia en que no pude salir a comprarlas. Gracias
My husband and i went to Florida for vacation and went to a lovely Cuban restaurant and this is one of the most delicious food i have ever tasted i swear i wanted to vacation at that restaurant i know that sounds fat but i am fat lol thank you for bringing this yummy Cuban croquetas to my home im a new fan of yours😍😍🙌❤❤
I've done these croquetas 2 times and they are really good. The ones they sell at the store have so many ings and preservatives, etc. These are easy to make and delicious. I use a pack of diced ham and just ground it in the food processor. Thanks Nydia, awesome recipe!
I don’t understand neither. I had no problem listening to you. There are always people looking for the negative and they are so ungrateful. You speak perfect English and Spanish. I understood every single word you said and thank you again for sharing 😊
I am with Sara. Your bilingual video was perfect. Don't pay attention to those that complain. Estoy con Sara. Su video en bilingue esta perfecto. No preste atencion a aquellas personas que se quejan.
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and video, finally a video that adds real flavors (garlic, adobo etc...) and are savory!!! Have been wanting to make these for my husband and these look as good and delicious as his mami used to make him ! ( May she RIP) 🙏🏼 Other videos that I have watched add Nues Moscada (Nutmeg) and I DO NOT remember them having that taste! I will definitely let you know what my hubby thinks ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, just recently moved to Texas from Miami and I can't find croquetas or pastelitos anywhere, now I can make my own!! No Cuban restaurants in my area either, thank goodness for my abuelita she taught me lots of recipies over the years. Can you make a video on yucca? That would be great for the pernil I'm making on noche buena!! Thanks again.
Hola Nannette Your are correct.. Roux is the combination of flour and butter.. wich is the base to make the Bechamel.. and yes Bechamel is also known as white sauce.. I wich i had more time to explain these things on the videos.. but we have a limitation in time and some people get bored with all those explanations.. Im glad there are people like you that really know and appreciate the proper terminology.. Nydia
I love these croquetas, my husband is Cuban and these are one of the best croquetas he's ever had. Thank you for posting this video and I'm looking forward to cooking more of your recipes!!! :) P.s. - I love the music in your video!!!
Dina! Im proud of you!!! many people are afraid of making croquetas.. and here you are.. the brave lady!! .. Im sure love played a big part!.. glad your boyfriend is happy. Gracias..Nydia
I love croquetas. I found a Cuban bakery near my condo and found them there. I could eat them like popcorn. I have trouble with portion control. But it's fun to see how they are made. I also had them in The Netherlands many years ago. The Dutch have their own version. Thank you for the video. I'll go buy a dozen and pig out!!!
Me encanta todo lo ke haces, eres muy buena cocinera he aprendido mucho viendo tus videos todos me facinan y la croketas me kedaron ummm ricas ,besitos y bendiciones miles, saludos desde New York, una cubana ke te admira.
Nydia, me gustqaria hacer estas croquetas, pero necesito saber las medidas, como, cual es la medidia del jamon? 1 taza o 2 tazas, aceite de olive? polvo en ajo? Si lo tienes escrito porfavor dime donde. Gracias!
we r from miami and now living in ga. we are throwing a bday party soon and we are missing the traditional bocaditos pastelitos y croquetas 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭 Def making these to satisfy our withdrawl lol!
Hi! Most latino supermarkets carry the ham. If you can't get the Serrano buy any sandwich ham low in water. Use blender or food processor to grind it. See information at the end of the video.
I havent had real Cuban Croquetas in over ten years since I was in Miami !!! I love you WOman !!!!!!!! Now lets see if I can make these without messing up !!!
Thanks! I made them this morning and will fry them tomorrow. The belchamel is delicious. But I think I need to use better ham and less onion than I did next time around. I will be checking this channel with great interest!
Thank you for posting this recipe. I am going to make it. I want to make some Cuban tamales but my family does not have a receipt. Do you have one you can share?
Just to clarify, Roux and Bechamel are 2 different things. Roux is an ingredient of Bachamel sauce. Roux is traditionally equal parts of butter and flour. Roux is a cooking mixture of wheat flour and fat (traditionally butter). It is the thickening agent of three mother sauces of classical French cooking: béchamel sauce, velouté sauce, and espagnole sauce. Béchamel sauce also known as white sauce, is made with a roux of butter and flour cooked in milk.
Hi! Where do I get that kind of ham? In the Deli of a supermarket or does it come packaged? Is it diced or do I have to do that? It really looks good and I want to try and make this. You make it look easy. Thank you.
I'm taking back to childhood. I make these a little smaller. I also process some panko and use regular bread crumbs for the coating. They taste so good. Thank you. I'm not a big fan of ham. These gives me a chance to serve ham to guests.
I just tried them. I made the mix yesterday and even though I thought that there was too much oil and butter for the amount of flour, I did as you said. After refrigerating the mix for a couple of hours, the big problem became apparent, the oil started separating from the mix... I kept it overnight hoping for the best, but no luck.i decided to cook them anyway but was sooo disappointed because it is too soft. I believe instructions are essential; not everyone has seen someone make croquetas. I did see the list of ingredients but your verbal directions indicated to mix the oil and the butter. By the way, I did cook the bechamel well. I plAn to try again but this time I’ll try go follow the amounts given in the old book Cocina al Minuto. I hope this is a positive criticism in order that the same problem might be avoided, after all, Serrano ham is not cheap...
Pues claro. St. Domingo, Puerto Rico, Cuba eran de España.Como bien dices "cada pais tendreis propio estilo" y en este caso Cubano. Un abrazo Madrid!!!
NydiasMiamiKitchen Se haría más fácil leer la lista de los ingredientes si se pusiera en las notas del vídeo. Para verlas al final del vídeo hay que ponerlo en pausa y se interpone el botón de pausa. No se puede leer bien.
hacia tiempo q no hacia corquetas y andaba buscando como hacerlas, hay tantas maneras diferentes de hacerlas pero la suya me parecio bien sencilla gracias Nydia por compartir.....solo una cosa cuesta un poco de trabajo entenderle en ingles jajajaj pero bueno en el video se ve todo paso por paso
Me encanta tu canal 😍 I followed you for a few years. You’ve inspired me to start my own channel. Gracias reina de la cocina 😘😘 Dios bendiga tus manos!
Thanks, I need to get good at making these and soon! They are my girlfriend's favourite food ever! Once you have the croqueta formed (before dressing with breadcrumbs) can you freeze them and fry them up at a later date?
Omg.....bueno yo no quería hacer tanta bechamel porque sólo somos 2.....la masa me quedo genial pero desafortunadamente me quedo un pelín saladito....oh well igual sabe bueno jajjaja para la próxima me saldrá mejor..happy thanksgiving! And thanks for la receta.

Thank you for sharing,don't pay attention to those didn't like your explanation in English,well done.
+Charlie Borrell Thank you!! :)
NydiasMiamiKitchen. Hi. Can u please spell the name of the sauce. And make a recipe?
Cynthia Nieves Béchamel sauce. It’s French. You start a béchamel sauce with a roux (also a French word). A roux is basically equal parts fat to flour, so a it’s starter, thickening sauce. Hope this helps.
pro tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Demetrius Abel Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :D

We have a cuban restaurant here in Indianapolis, that makes a Cuban sandwich, using the croquetas. They are so tasty!
That is called "Pan con Croqueta".. simply delicious!!!!! :)
I think he's referring to a Croqueta Preparada
In Miami that is called a "croqueta preparada".

Sometimes the ham releases too much liquid.. depends on the type of ham ect.. when this happends you just need to add more flour. thanks
👍👍
