These little fritters are loved by kids and a great way to disguise those greens! They always stand out amongst the hors d’oeuvres at a dinner or garden party. The recipe makes 6 medium sized fritters.
Cook the Dainty Brown rice according to the package but using only 1 ½ cups (375mL) of water. When done, spread onto a baking sheet and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
Once cooled, place the rice in a large mixing bowl, along with everything else, except the oil. Mix gently.
Heat a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat. Add the oil. When hot, measure each fritter to 2 tbsp and place in the pan. It will be loose, so drop it gently into the pan. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden. Do not attempt to move them before 4 minutes. Give them time to set. Gently flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and repeat.
Serve warm – great with tzatziki, salsa, or hot sauce!
