Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 185g tin tuna – use whatever flavour you like
- 1 cup grated cheese
- 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
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- In a bowl mix together the rice, tuna, cheese, broccoli and 1/3 cup of breadcrumbs.
- Lightly beat two of the eggs then add them to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Put the remaining beaten eggs, flour and breadcrumbs in separate bowls ready for crumbing.
- To make the croquettes, take a tablespoon of the mixture and use your hands to mould it into a sausage shape. Dip it into the flour (brush off any excess) then the egg and then coat it in breadcrumbs. Repeat until you have used all of the mixture.
- Place the croquettes on baking paper on an oven tray and brush them with the oil.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until they are piping hot and golden.
