RICE CROQUETTES
These were made by my grandmother while I was growing up. Whenever she made them, some always made their way to our house. She would make them in the morning and put them on a platter and into the refrigerator they went until suppertime--probably to tighten up. I remember seeing them sitting there with waxed paper over them. These are so good if you mash them a little on your plate and put butter and salt on them. It is a way to use up leftover rice which is what Grammie did. She didn't throw anything away. She even saved all her leftover meat whether it be one hamburg patty, or a hotdog, or a roast and would grind them up at the end of the week and used the following recipe but with meat instead of rice. She would add some chopped onion to the meat. She didn't waste anything. The rice is held together with an egg and white sauce. Grammie never measured so this is about what I use to make mine. The time listed is if you keep them in the refrigerator for a few hours, but you could have them sit only about an hour or so.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped pancetta and cook and stir until cooked through but not too crispy, 4 to 6 minutes. Add frozen broccoli rice and stir until it is warmed through and the liquid releases, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir saffron powder into hot broth and pour mixture into the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer broccoli rice to a large bowl to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- Add shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and egg to cooled rice mixture and mix until well combined. Whisk together almond meal, hazelnut meal, chili powder, and pepper in a separate bowl; remove 1/3 cup and mix into the rice mixture until well combined.
- Coat your hands with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil. Scoop rice mixture with a 1-ounce cookie scoop into your palm. Make an indentation in the rice ball with the back of the cookie scoop. Place 1 bocconcini inside the indentation and add another scoop rice on top. Form into a ball and roll in the almond meal mixture, coating well on all sides; place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining rice, bocconcini, and almond meal mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn croquettes over and bake until brown and crispy, about 10 more minutes.

RICE & MOZZARELLA CROQUETTES
This recipe was given to me a few years ago by a friend after she brought a tray of these croquetts to a pot luck get together. The recipe came from my friend's Mom, who came across it in one of her cookbooks originally. These scrumptious crisp and cheesy rice appetizers are made often for special occasions and holiday...

Steps:
- 1. Bring stock (about 5 1/2 cups) to a simmer in saucepan. Keep warm over very low heat. In a heavy fry pan heat the olive oil (1/4 C) over medium heat, add the onion and saute about 3-4 minutes, add the rice and coat rice well with the oil in pan, saute rice about 3-4 minutes. Add the wine and stir until rice absorbs all the wine.
- 2. Add the warm stock to the "wine-rice" a little at a time, stiring it in well but gently after each addition. Wait until rice absorbs the stock before adding in next addition of stock. Once rice is tender, (but still somewhat firm)after cooking for about 20-25 minutes ...remove from heat, add in the butter and 1/4 cup of reserved stock... and then season with salt and pepper. Spread the creamy rice mix out on a cookie sheet to cool. Once cool, scrape the rice into a bowl, add 2 of the eggs to the rice mix and blend in the parmesan cheese.
- 3. Place about a 1/4 cup of rice in palm of hand, pack like a meatball and flatten slightly into an oval shape making an a indentation to place 2-3 pieces of the cubed mozzarella into. Take another spoon of rice and be sure that the rice is packed all around the cheese, this time packing the "rice meatball" tightly and forming into an oval cylinder shape. Set aside and continue making oval cylinders with the remainder of the rice and mozzarella.
- 4. In a shallow bowl, beat the remaining 2 eggs, place flour and breadcrumbs into 2 seperate shallow bowls or pie plates. Coat each rice oval with the flour, then the egg wash and then the breadcrumbs in that order. Set aside.
- 5. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a heavy pan to 350-375 degrees....you must be careful not to let oil go below 350 degrees OR above 400 degrees!!!! Use a deep fry thermometer to keep an eye on the oil temp. Fry rice ovals a few at a time until golden brown 3-5 minutes. Transfere fried ovals to paper towels to drain, then keep warm in 200 degree oven while finishing frying up the remainder of the croquettes. Serve immediately as is.... or with a side of sweet and sour or warm marinara dipping sauce!! YUM!!!
Tips:
- Use day-old rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and sticky.
- Season the rice well with salt and pepper before forming the croquettes. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Use a light hand when forming the croquettes. Overworking the rice will make them tough.
- Coat the croquettes in breadcrumbs before frying. This will help them to stay crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
- Fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the croquettes will not cook evenly.
- Serve the croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Rice croquettes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little practice, you can make perfect rice croquettes that will impress your family and friends.
