Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 3 Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of cooked brown rice and 1 cup of cottage cheese. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Add 2 eggs into the rice and cheese mixture, and mix until the eggs are fully incorporated.
Stir in the finely chopped green onions, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the rice mixture and shape it into a patty, placing it into the hot skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each rice cake for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Once cooked, transfer the rice cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the savory rice cakes warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
