- Reheat the fat in the frying pan, add the cream and 1 2/3 cups water and bring to a boil. Stir in the bouillon and cornstarch. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 min. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Drain the carrots. Remove the string from the pork. Arrange on plates with the croquettes and sauce. Garnish with basil.
