Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 185g tin tuna – use whatever flavour you like

  • 1 cup cooked broccoli, chopped finely (or another vegetable)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • Oil

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. In a bowl mix together the rice, tuna, cheese, broccoli and 1/3 cup of breadcrumbs.
  3. Lightly beat two of the eggs then add them to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  4. Put the remaining beaten eggs, flour and breadcrumbs in separate bowls ready for crumbing.
