Rice Croquettes


This is my second attempt at rice croquettes. My husband used to eat them when he was a kid (I never did until now), so the first time round I tried his sister's recipe. However, I wasn't too satisfied with the end result, so I improvised a little bit. Basically, I used my onion rings batter, and just folded in the rice and ham.

Ingredients

1 cup rice
3 eggs
300 g (10 oz) ham (diced)
120 g (4 oz) flour
75 ml (1/3 cup) milk
75 ml (1/3 cup) sparkling water
2 tbsp fresh or 1 tbsp dried parsley (chopped)
salt, pepper

Boil the rice.
Separate the eggs. In a large bowl combine the yolks with the flour, water and milk. When the batter is smooth add the ham, rice and parsley and season with salt and a generous quantity of pepper (around 1/2 tsp). Whisk the egg whites, then fold them gently into the batter. Spoon the croquettes into hot oil and fry until golden.

Interesting.
I've not tried rice croquettes. But, I'd concur... looks like beer food to me. Or a nice side dish with a roast!!

Just like Lo I've yet to try rice croquettes and I know just were to come for a recipe when I do ;). They look so crispy and delish!
