Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Brown rice
- 1 large Egg
- 500 milliliters Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, bring the low-sodium vegetable broth to a boil.
Add the rinsed brown rice to the boiling broth, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and let it cool slightly.
In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sautéed garlic and onion to the bowl with the rice.
In the same bowl, add the egg, black pepper, paprika, chopped parsley, low-sodium soy sauce, and lemon zest. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.
Shape the mixture into small patties using your hands, about 2½ inches in diameter.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the rice patties in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the Low Sodium Galette de Riz warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
