Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup finely chopped cooked ham
  • 1 cup finely chopped corned beef
  • ½ clove garlic, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sauerkraut, drained and minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 cups fine dry bread crumbs
  • 1 quart oil for frying
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until softened. Stir in ham, corned beef, and garlic. Cook mixture, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Stir in 6 tablespoons flour and cook mixture over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.

Step 2
Stir in sauerkraut, parsley, and broth; cook for 3 minutes or until thickened and paste-like. Spread mixture on a platter and chill for at least 3 hours.

Step 3
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and 2 1/2 cups flour. Shape sauerkraut mixture by leveling teaspoons into balls, dip them into egg mixture, and roll them in bread crumbs.

Step 4
Fry balls in batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve warm.
