Croquette made with local beef

This artisanal croquette made with local beef takes the classic Dutch snack to the next level. The filling is made from slow-cooked pulled beef sourced from cattle raised in the Netherlands under natural and animal-friendly conditions. The result is a deeply flavourful, tender ragout that pairs beautifully with the golden crispy coating. A treat that feels both familiar and surprising, ideal as a party snack, starter or luxurious lunch dish.

What is a croquette?

Originally a French invention, the croquette has become a true staple in our own culinary culture. Its base is always a firm ragout, thickened with broth, butter and flour, to which meat, fish or vegetables are added. At The Butchery, we take it a step further by using top-quality pulled beef from local cattle, which adds richness in both flavour and texture. After shaping and breading, the croquettes are briefly fried to create the perfect contrast between crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. A great croquette melts on your tongue, with a silky interior that never turns mushy.

Premium quality local beef

For this croquette, we use beef from Dutch farmers with whom we work directly. The cattle are raised on small-scale farms where respect for the animals and the environment comes first. They are fed a varied diet of grass, hay and grains, without the use of growth hormones or preventive antibiotics. The meat from these animals is firm in texture, rich in flavour and perfectly suited for slow-cooking preparations like this croquette. By sourcing locally, we reduce our ecological footprint while guaranteeing maximum freshness and full transparency.
