Spicy Beef Croquettes
Beefsteak mince contains plenty of niacin, vitamin B12, zinc and iron, but is very low in fat compared to normal minced meat; the diced peppers in the minced meat dough additionally reduce the calorie balance. Chili and garlic ensure full flavour and well-functioning blood vessels.
Do you like lamb? Then try a mixture of one half beefsteak and one half minced lamb. The rolls are then a bit fatter, but still lower in calories than with pure minced lamb.

Ingredients
- Ingredients
- ½ bunch flat-leaf parsley
- 7 ozs Yogurt (low-fat)
- salt
- peppers
- 1 small green Hungarian wax pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 chili pepper
- 1 lb Ground sirloin
- 1 Tbsp ground paprika (sweet)

Preparation steps
Rinse parsley, shake dry, pluck leaves and chop coarsely. In a bowl, mix parsley with yogurt. Season with salt and pepper and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Cut wax pepper in half lengthwise, remove seeds, rinse and dry. Cut pepper into small cubes. Place in a second bowl.
Peel garlic. Press cloves through a garlic press into the bowl with diced pepper.
Halve chile pepper, remove seeds, rinse and dry. Finely chop. Add chile, ground sirloin, and both types of paprika to the bowl with the garlic mixture.

Transfer mixture to a clean work surface. With damp hands, shape mixture into a log. With a knife, slice into 8 pieces, each about 10 cm (approximately 4 inches) long and 2-3 cm (approximately 1 inch) thick.
Transfer croquettes to a large aluminum tray and brush with oil on all sides. Cook on a hot grill (or grill pan) for 8-10 minutes, turning once during cooking. Serve croquettes with yogurt sauce.
