60 Weeks Until .... Number 22

Sometimes life is difficult at our house.   I like cooking and trying out new recipes but the HD3QBEM has severe dietary problems that mean the list of "cannot eat" is loooong and growing longer!   This one however satisfies us both.

Cheddar Cheese and Silverbeet Rice Balls

1 tablepoons olive oil for sauteeing
2 cups of freshly chopped silver beet (or you could substitute spinach)
2 egg whites
2 cups white rice cooked
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 and  1/2 cups grated tasty cheddar cheese
Salt and Pepper

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius
In a frying pan heat the oil and gently wilt the silverbeet
In a large bowl whisk the egg whites until well combined.  Add the cooked rice, breadcrumbs and grated cheese.  Mix through thoroughly.
Add the spinach and combine well.
Season with salt and pepper
With wet hands form bite size balls and place on a greased baking tray
Spray lightly with cooking oil.
Bake for 20 minutes until crispy and golden.

These are great served with a tomato salsa (for me) and peach and mango chutney (for the HD3QBEM)
