Croquetas de Jamon (Ham croquettes), Need a good receipe! Options

[Ilu]

Hello all,

I am looking for a really good receipe for ham croquettes, and am wondering if anyone here has a receipe that is tried and true.

Recently (yesterday as a matter of fact) I made some with a receipe I got off the internet a few years ago, and they turned out ok...don't care too much for the onions in them. I tried to mince the onion, but I can still see them and taste them when I bite into the croqueta. One of my Cuban cookbook receipe doesn't even include onions in the ingredients list? Are onions a requirement?

I'd like a receipe like of the ones you can get from a bakery in Miami (deep sigh)!!! Those Miami croquetas are to die for!!!

Thanks!

Ilu
