INGREDIENTS
2 cups leftover White Rice, preferably long-grain
5 Tbsp. Flour
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup finely chopped Green Pepper
3 tbsp. chopped Parsley
1/3 cup green Onion, chopped
1 Onion, chopped
1 cup Sharp White Cheddar, grated on the large hole of a box grater
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
2 tablespoons Butter
1/2 cup Olive Oil
METHOD
Sauté the onion and the green pepper in a pan with a small splash of oil. Remove.
Mix all the ingredients, rice, flour, eggs, parsley, green onion, and cheese. Add the mixture to the onion and chopped green peppers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well.
Working in batches, and adding more oil as needed, use a large spoon or measuring cup to place a scoop of the rice mixture in the pan. Press down with the back of a spatula to form a patty. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden and crisp on the bottom. Gently flip patty and cook another 3 minutes until golden. Keep warm on a paper towel, covered or plate in a warm oven.
