Rice Croquettes

 

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 Tbs butter or margarine

1 cup uncooked rice

2 1/4 cups vegetable broth

2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley

1 egg lightly beaten

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried basil

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

Cooking oil

Additional fresh parsley, optional

 

In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender.

Add rice; saute for 3 minutes. Stir in broth and parsley;

bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for

20 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.

Stir in egg, cheese, basil and pepper. Moisten hands

with water and shape 1/4 cupfuls into log or egg shapes.

Roll in crumbs. In an electric skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil

to 365 degrees. Fry croquettes, a few at a time, for 3 to

4 minutes or until crisp and golden, turning often.

Drain on paper towels. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Yield: 16 croquettes
