What You Need to Make Savory Rice Fritters

  • 6 oz rice

  • 1 oz Grana Padano DOP (grated)
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp parsley
  • 2 pinches salt
  • 3 pinches pepper

How to Make Savory Rice Fritters

  • To prepare the Savory Rice Fritters, first boil the rice in plenty of lightly salted water, then cool it quickly and drain it.

  • Alternatively, you can use leftover risotto or plain boiled rice seasoned with vegetables to further enrich the fritters.

  • In a bowl, mix the cooled rice with the eggs, flour, and the remaining ingredients.

  • You need to obtain a mixture soft enough to drop by spoonfuls into the hot oil.

    If it’s too liquid, add a little flour at a time, and if it’s too thick, add 1 tbsp of milk.

  • Heat plenty of oil for frying in a deep skillet, and once hot, drop spoonfuls of the mixture gently into the oil.

  • Fry a few savory rice fritters at a time to prevent lowering the oil temperature.

    Flip them after a couple of minutes and let them turn golden on the other side, then drain them on paper towels.

  • Once the rice fritters are ready, serve them with mayonnaise or your favorite dips.
