- Ingredients
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- ½ tsp Saffron
- 1 ⅔ cups Risotto (Arborio or Carnaroli)
- ⅔ cup dry white wine
- 4 cups hot vegetable stock (approx.)
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped, mixed Fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, oregano)
- ¾ cup grated, hard dairy-free cheese
- salt
- peppers
- all-purpose flour
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 4 Tbsps vegetable oil
Preparation steps
1.
Heat the olive oil in a wide, shallow pan and cook the onion for 5 minutes, until softened but not browned.
2.
Stir in the saffron until it begins to release its colour, then add the rice. Stir for 1 minute to coat in the oil, then pour in the wine and cook until absorbed.
3.
Add a ladleful of stock to the rice, stirring until absorbed. Continue adding the stock – 1 ladleful at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed before adding the next ladleful, until the rice is 'al dente'. You may not need all the stock.
4.
Remove from the heat and stir in the herbs and cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside to cool.
5.
Divide into 8 and shape into patties.
6.
Place a layer of flour on a large plate then dip each side of the cakes in the flour, then in the egg and then in flour again.
7.
Heat half the vegetable oil in a frying pan and cook 4 cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, until piping hot and golden. Repeat with the remaining oil and cakes. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.
