Leftover Veg & Rice Fritters

A perfect way to use up leftover rice and vegetables from the fridge #FoodWasteActionWeek

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked rice (leftover works best)
  • 1 cup mixed leftover vegetables (peas, sweetcorn, grated carrot, chopped peppers, broccoli etc)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs or curry powder (optional)
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • A little oil for frying

Notes

  1. Mix the rice, vegetables, egg and flour in a bowl.
  2. Season and add herbs or spices if you like.
  3. Form small patties with your hands.
  4. Heat a little oil in a pan and fry for 3–4 minutes each side until golden.
  5. Serve with yoghurt, ketchup or sweet chilli sauce.
💡 Top tip: You can swap rice for leftover mashed potatoes, pasta or quinoa.
