Method
For the croquettes :
Peel and cut the potatoes.Cook them in boiling water until they are tender, then drain them and puree them.
Drain the canned jackfruit then place it in a clean towel and squeeze to extract as much water as possible. Then make filaments by tearing the pieces of jackfruit with your hands.
Place in a bowl and add the lemon juice and zest, chopped chives, chopped samphire, seaweed flakes, miso and mashed potatoes.
Mix to obtain a homogeneous preparation. Adjust seasoning.
Make croquettes with your hands and place them on a plate.
For the breading :
Preheat the oven to 180°C (if you are not using a fryer or for reheating).
Prepare a deep plate with the panko breadcrumbs and prepare another plate with flour. Prepare a 3rd plate with flour diluted with water until you obtain the consistency of pancake batter. Add a tablespoon of oil and mix.
First dredge the croquettes in flour and tap well to remove excess flour. Then pass the croquettes in the water+flour+oil dough to lightly coat the croquettes before rolling them in the breadcrumbs.
Arrange the breaded croquettes on a plate.
In a pan or deep fryer, heat oil to 180°C and cook the breaded croquettes until they are golden brown (2-3 min).
Finish cooking in the oven at 180°C for 15 minutes (if you are not using a deep fryer).
For the tartar sauce :
Place the soy milk, vinegar, mustard and salt in a measuring cup and blend with a hand blender.
Add the oil little by little until you obtain a thick consistency.
Transfer to a bowl and add the chopped herbs, chopped shallot, capers and gherkins. Adjust seasoning.
Enjoy the warm sea croquettes with a little tartar sauce.
