Stir until the batter forms a ball, about 3 more minutes.
• Remove from the heat; stir in the ham, cheese and thyme. Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Cool, then refrigerate until firm, at least 45 minutes and up to 1 day.
• Meanwhile, make the pea sauce: Bring 3 cups water and the garlic to a boil in a saucepan. Add the peas; cook until thawed, 30 seconds. Drain, then transfer the peas and garlic to a blender. Add the broth and lemon zest; puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Use just enough flour to keep the potatoes from sticking to your hands, but do not coat them completely.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Shallow-fry the croquettes, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-towel lined plate. Let the croquettes cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

RICE CROQUETTES WITH SMOKED HAM AND MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Pour the stock into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduced the heat to achieve a gentle simmer and maintain over low heat.
• Meanwhile, in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes to coat. Add a ladleful for the simmering stock and stir constantly. When the liquid is almost absorbed, add another ladleful. Stir constantly and add more stock, a ladleful at a time, when the previous ladleful is almost absorbed. The rice is done when it is firm but tender and the center of each grain is no longer chalky, 20-25 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the tomato sauce, parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Let cool completely, and then stir in the egg yolk, mixing well. In a small bowl, toss together the ham, peas, and mozzarella.
• Scoop up 2 tablespoons of the rice mixture. Using two fingers, make a cavity in the center. Fill it with a little of the ham mixture. Finish shaping the rice by hand to make a croquette the size of a large chicken egg. Roll in bread crumbs to coat completely. Repeat with the remaining rice and filling.
• In a saucepan, pour in oil to a depth of 3 inches (7.5 cm) and heat to 350 F on a deep-frying thermometer, or until a bit of bread turns golden within moments of being dropped into the oil. Add croquettes, a few at a time, and fry, turning them to cook evenly, until deeply golden, 3-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately.

HAM CROQUETAS

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the ham and onion until coarsely ground. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Quickly whisk in 1/2 cup flour and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and tan, 2 to 3 minutes. While whisking, gradually add 1 cup milk, then continue whisking until the mixture thickens to the consistency of soft mashed potatoes, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour and use a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula to stir until very thick, firm and a darker shade of brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Some browning on the bottom of the pan is OK.
• To the pan, add the ham mixture, parsley, garlic powder and salt, and vigorously mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a sheet pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper and pat into a 9-by-7-inch rectangle. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
• Cut the chilled paste into 21 (3-by-1-inch) rectangles, then gently roll each into a 3-inch-long cylinder. Make sure the croquetas are smooth and without cracks. Place the croquetas on the sheet pan and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Place the cracker crumbs on a plate. In a medium bowl, combine the egg and remaining 2/3 cup milk, and whisk until combined.
• Submerge 4 to 5 chilled croquetas in the milk mixture to thoroughly coat, then transfer immediately to the crackers, making sure the croquetas are coated in the crumbs. Return to the sheet pan and repeat with the remaining croquetas. Freeze again until firm but not frozen, 15 to 30 minutes. Don't freeze for longer than 30 minutes as they may burst in the hot oil.
• Towards the end of the chilling time, fill a small Dutch oven or heavy saucepan with oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches. Heat over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, use a croqueta as a test piece: Carefully drop in 1 croqueta. If it immediately begins to fry and brown, the oil is ready. Carefully add 2 to 3 croquetas and fry, turning if needed to evenly cook, until golden brown,1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving. Repeat with the remaining croquetas, working in batches and adjusting the heat to maintain the oil temperature. Serve immediately with lime wedges, hot sauce and saltine crackers.
