Rice fritters are a delicious way to use up leftover rice from cod, fish, seafood, or tomato dishes. Not only do they prevent food waste, but they also make for an excellent meal when paired with salad. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 200g of leftover rice (from cod, fish, seafood, or tomato dishes);
- 40g of coarsely grated zucchini;
- 1 medium egg;
- 40g of flour (depending on the consistency of the rice);
- 8 chopped chives;
- 1 pinch of pepper;
- 1 tsp of salt;
- 1 tbsp of olive oil;
- 80g of Alentejo salad.
Instructions:
- Mix the leftover rice with the grated zucchini and the beaten egg.
- Add the flour and chopped chives, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until you have a thick batter. If the batter is too thin, add more flour until you reach the desired consistency.
- Heat a little olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and spoon the batter onto the pan, leaving space between each fritter. Fry the fritters on both sides until golden brown, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
- Serve with Alentejo salad and enjoy!
