Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Finely chop the onion and sauté in a knob of butter, let cool.

Mix the minced meat well with the rest of the ingredients and the cooled onion, divide into 8 and make nice round balls. Melt another knob of butter in the pan and fry the balls for 5 minutes all around in the butter with bay leaves, then bake for another 20 minutes in the oven.

Pour only the juice of the cherries into a pot, set aside about 150 ml and mix in a tablespoon of cornstarch. Bring the juice to a boil and add the cornstarch mixture, stir well, add the orange zest and cinnamon, and mix in the cherries, let it boil briefly and it's ready.

Bake the croquettes and serve immediately. Enjoy!
