@cqpasta: Rice Croquettes 🇮🇹 

Makes: 20- 40 Prep Time: 45 minutes Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes
 🤍INGREDIENTS🤍
1kg of medium grain rice 2 medium sized potatoes chopped in large wedges 6 eggs 1 cup of grated Parmesan 15 grams of freshly chopped Parsley 500 grams of breadcrumbs
Pepper to taste Oil of your choice for shallow frying 
🩵DIRECTIONS🩵
1. Boil a large pot of salted water for the rice and a smaller pot of water for the potato (seperate). 2. Once the water starts boiling in the large pot- add in your rice and stir it through. Once water starts boiling in smaller pot- add your potatoes and let them cook also. 3. Let the rice cook until the water starts to become thick and starchy and making sure you cook the rice until it’s soft, not al dente. 4. When your rice is ready drain the water and add to any dish and let it cool down until it reaches a warm temperature- the rice cannot be still hot and do not rinse. 5. While the rice is cooling down drain your potatoes once they are ready.. Let them cool down for about 5 minutes. 6. Once the rice is ready add your potatoes to a potato ricer and mash them in the rice mixture. 7. Then add in your parsley, Parmesan cheese, eggs and pepper. 8. Mix it through with hands for the best result and combine completely. 9. Add a little oil to a bowl and dip fingers in every now and then while creating the croquettes.. this avoids the mixture sticking to hands and also adds a thin coat of oil which helps the breadcrumbs stick nicely. 10. In a seperate dish add a packet of breadcrumbs for coating and coat. 11. Add oil to a pan and turn to a high heat. 12. Let the oil get hot before adding them in. It needs to start sizzling right away. 13. Add them to the oil and let them cook. They need to be flipped over to other side when the start to look cooked and golden. 14. Serve with a fresh salad or as apart of a feast and/or appetiser. #nonna #italy #food #calabrese #calabria
