Ingredients

  • 1 cups (250ml) rice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cups (250ml) parmesan cheese
  • 1 fresh parsley, chopped
  • salt
  • flour
  • breadcrumbs
  • vegetable oil

Method

Heat a little vegetable oil in a pan and add your rice. Stir it around, then add 2 cups of water. Simmer covered on a low heat for 15 minutes.

Mix together 1 egg, the parmesan, the parsley and a pinch of salt. Once this is well mixed, add the cooked rice. Mix well. If the texture is still a little loose you can add a little flour.

Form the mixture into balls with your hands, and once prepared, dip them into flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs.

Once your balls are prepared, deep fry them for about 2-3 minutes.
