Ingredients

To prepare this easy rice fritter recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups of cooked rice
• 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 whole eggs
• 2 tablespoons of milk
• 1/2 cup of chopped parsley
• 1 small onion, grated
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1: Making the Batter

1. In a large bowl, add the cooked rice, grated Parmesan cheese, flour, eggs, and milk.
2. Mix all the ingredients well until you get a smooth batter.
3. Add the chopped parsley, grated onion, and minced garlic.
4. Season the batter with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix again until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 2: Shaping the Fritters

1. With slightly damp hands, take small portions of the batter and shape into balls or whatever shape you prefer.
2. Place the shaped fritters on a tray or plate, leaving space between them so they do not stick together.

Step 3: Frying

1. In a deep pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
2. When the oil is hot, fry the fritters a few at a time, turning them so they fry evenly.
3. Let the fritters fry until golden and crispy on the outside.
4. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 4: Serving

1. Serve the rice fritters hot, with a sauce of your choice.
2. They are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or side dish with meals.

Tips for Varying the Recipe

• Fillings: You can add fillings to the fritters, such as pieces of cheese, ham, or chopped vegetables.
• Seasonings: Try adding other seasonings, such as oregano, basil, or crushed red pepper, for a different touch.
