Ham and Rice Croquettes

Ingredients for Ham and Rice Croquettes

• 375g cooked white rice, cooled

• 140g finely chopped cooked ham (about 110g )

• 50g grated parmesan

• 2 large eggs, divided

• 120ml plain dry bread crumbs

• About 725ml vegetable oil

• Equipment: a deep-fat thermometer

Stir together rice, ham, cheese, 1 egg, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Put remaining egg (lightly beaten) and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls.

Heat 1 to 1 1/2 inches oil to 177°C in a 10-inch skillet over high heat. Meanwhile, dampen your hands and form 1/4-cup amounts of rice mixture into 2 1/2-inch cakes. Lightly coat with egg, then with bread crumbs. Fry croquettes in 2 batches, turning once or twice, until golden-brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
