Another Jamie Oliver recipe from Spain, this was a near-disaster. You make a standard white sauce with butter, flour and milk and add nutmeg, cheese and ham (prosciutto is recommended but I went with leg ham), then you chill the mixture. Once stiff you're supposed to mould the mixture into little sausage shapes and coat them in flour, egg and breadcrumbs and fry in hot oil for a few minutes. I'm not sure if my mixture hadn't been chilled sufficiently, or whether I'd mucked up the amount of flour needed (I really need to look for my kitchen scales!) but the mixture wasn't exactly stiff, more sticky than anything else. It was messy and took ages, and I ended up with some fairly munted shapes, switching to patties rather than sausage shapes (although I did manage to mould a couple of them into little snags). A very tasty dish but time consuming a labour intensive. Including chilling time, it took three hours from start to finish.
This recipe is from the Jamie Oliver cookbook Jamie does Spain, Italy, Sweden, Morocco, Greece, France.
