Canadian Style Rice Cakes
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat. Cook onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook one minute. Add rice, stirring constantly until rice is completely coated with butter and begins to toast. Stir in mushrooms; cook until liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
What You’ll Need:
Ingredients
| 1 tbsp | butter | 15 mL |
| 1 cup | finely chopped onions | 250 mL |
| 2 | minced garlic cloves | 2 |
| 1 cup | Kokuho Rose® rice | 250 mL |
| 1/2 cup | finely chopped wild mushrooms | 125 mL |
| 1/4 cup | white wine | 50 mL |
| 1 cup | chicken broth | 250 mL |
| 2 | lightly beaten eggs | 2 |
| 1 tbsp | each chopped fresh basil and thyme | 15 mL |
| 1 tsp | each salt and pepper | 5 mL |
| 1/4 cup | lingonberries or fresh currants | 50 mL |
| 2 tbsp | olive oil, divided | 30 mL |
Directions
Pour in wine and stir until evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in broth, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer over low heat until liquid has been absorbed and rice is al dente, about 15 – 20 minutes. Remove from heat but leave cover on until cool enough to work with.
Transfer rice mixture to bowl. Stir in eggs, basil, thyme, salt, pepper and lingonberries; just until combined.
In large skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of olive oil over medium high heat. Drop heaping tablespoons of the rice batter into a skillet about 1-inch (2.5 cm) apart. Cook until underside is golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Flip over and cook until completely golden, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm in a 200 °F oven (100°C), while cooking remaining cakes. Repeat with remaining oil and batter until all ingredients have been used.
Serve warm with a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream.
Makes 12 rice cakes.
