Apkallu Croquette

__Ingredients__
Walnut Bread
Apkallu Egg
Popoto
Sunset Wheat Flour
Olive Oil
Mineral Water

__Preperations__
Heat the Mineral Water until boiling. As the water heats up, skin the Popoto. Place the Popoto inside your oven to bake. The Mineral Water should be boiling by now, so add the Apkallu Egg to it until thoroughly cooked. While the egg is boiling toast the Walnut Bread until it is easily crumbled but not blackening (light brown). Once toasted, crunch the Bread with the flat of your blade until you have a nice pile of crumbs and nuts. The egg should be cooked by now, so remove it from the boiling water. De-shell the egg and be careful not to burn your fingers. Once the egg has been shelled, set it aside. At this point, you can prepare your Walnut Bread crumbs and Sunset Wheat Flour by sprinkling them on two separate plates and having the Olive Oil on hand. Check your Popoto. It should be soft enough to easily stick a fork in it but firm enough to manipulate. Once it is done, remove the Popoto and begin mashing it into a thick paste. Leaving little chunks are ok if that is how you like them. Once mashed, take your shelled Apkallu Egg and begin to mold the Popoto paste around it until it is completely covered. Roll it a little in the Flour, then cover it in Olive Oil and roll it into the Walnut Bread crumbs. From there, fry it up until it is golden brown and serve.

To convert the recipe into real life if anyone is interested, you can replace the Apkallu Egg with any type. Chicken Eggs if you like big, Quail Eggs if you like small, etc. For shelling the egg, having a bowl of cold water you can put it into after you boil it helps reduce the chance of burning your fingers and helps get rid of small bits of shell on your egg. Replace the Popoto with any kind of potato, pumpkin or squash. Kabocha and Acorn Squash work really well if you don't care for the traditional potato. Lather it in Olive Oil with a dash of pepper before you bake it for some extra flavor. Replace the Walnut Bread with any kind of crumb product (Panko). Adding small vegetables to the mash before you roll it into a ball, like corn, is pretty tasty.
