Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes and zucchini. First stack the potatoes, then the onions and on top the zucchini in a saucepan, then add enough lightly salted water to cover everything. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat. Fish the zucchini out of the pot after 10 minutes, after another 5 minutes remove the onions and the potatoes as soon as they are done. Throw away the cooking water. Let the vegetables cool down.
  2. In the meantime, puree the sun-dried tomatoes in the olive oil together with the herb mix, some instant vegetable stock, the pepper and 3 tablespoons of water using a blender. Possibly add a little olive oil and freshly squeezed garlic. Mix the ingredients well and prepare the tomato dip.
  3. Peel and chop the potatoes and onion. Cap the zucchini at both ends, quarter lengthways and cut across into approx. 5 mm thick slices. Knead all the ingredients for the croquettes into a dough. If the dough is too thin, gently squeeze it out with a fresh tea towel.
  4. Shape the dough into croquettes and roll them in flour. Fry the croquettes in portions in olive oil until golden brown, then drain on kitchen paper.
  5. Place the croquettes on a serving platter, garnish and serve warm with white bread and the tomato dip.
