- 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan
- 2 + 1/2 cups of chicken stock
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup flour
- 2 cups panko crumbs
- Oil for deep frying
Method
- Cook onions with olive oil on low-medium heat until translucent + soft.
- Add uncooked rice, allowing rice to absorb some of the oil.
- Add a splash of stock, stirring into the rice and allowing it to be absorbed before adding more stock. Stir continuously. Keep adding stock.
- Add pumpkin half way through.
- Stop once the rice has absorbed as much stock as possible, noting you may not use all the stock.
- Stir in the parmesan.
- Add salt to taste.
- Spread mixture over a baking pan, and cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Use an icecream scoop or spoon to create balls with the mixture.
- Coat balls in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs.
