Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, eggs, grated Gruyere cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Add the flour, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to the rice mixture. Stir until the mixture becomes cohesive and can hold together when shaped.
Shape the mixture into small, flat patties—about the size of the palm of your hand. You should be able to make about 8 patties.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat until the butter has melted.
Carefully place the rice patties into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the galette de riz warm as a side dish or a light meal.
