Zucchini and Speck Croquettes

To prepare zucchini and speck croquettes, first wash and trim the zucchini, then roughly slice them into rounds 1. Transfer the zucchini into a mixer 2 and chop them, taking care not to make a puree 3.

Cut the speck into cubes 4. Pour the chopped zucchini into a bowl and add the breadcrumbs 5 and grated Parmesan cheese 6.

Mix to combine, then add the parsley 7, salt 8, and robiola cheese 9.

Mix again and finally add the speck 10. Work everything with a spoon to obtain a soft and consistent dough 11. Oil your palms with olive oil and form slightly flattened balls 12; with these quantities, you will obtain about 12 croquettes.

Coat the croquettes with breadcrumbs 13 and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with a bit of oil 14 and bake in a preheated fan oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes. When they are nicely golden, take them out of the oven and serve your zucchini and speck croquettes 15!
