Rice Left Over magic

Posted by Paula | Posted on 19-11-2009

I am always challenged to come up with creative ways to disguise left overs.  This recipe is tested and approved by a very picky child and Dad who “Never” eat leftovers!!…sssh!

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2.Line a baking sheet with foil.

3.Heat 2tbsp olive oil in a frying pan. Once the oil is heated, add 1 small chopped onion and 1tsp minced garlic.

4.Add 1 cup of thawed frozen spinach to pan and cook until spinach is tender.(about 3 minutes)

5.Stir in 1 cup of cooked left over rice, 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1 egg into spinach mixture. Season with pepper and salt.

6.Once mixture is stirred thoroughly, scoop 1 tablespoon full and drop onto the baking sheet.  Make sure to mold into round shapes (almost like a golf ball.)

7.Bake the rice for 20 minutes.

I served the rice balls with marinara sauce and an alfredo sauce.  Everyone LOVED the food, (which I have to say was quite filling!) and no one was the wiser that they were devouring left overs!!!!

Ism…just because you have left overs doesn’t mean you have to eat them the same boring old way!  Think outside the box and try something new with something left over. Left over’s can be very exciting!

Ciao for now, Paula
