- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (341 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian, High protein
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, mustard
Ingredients
- 80 g Trappista or Edam cheese
- 10 g Flour, all-purpose
- 25 g Egg
- 20 g Breadcrumbs
- 10 g Vegetable oil (for frying, the part absorbed)
- 35 g Rice, long-grain
- 40 g Peas, frozen
- 10 g Onion
- 5 g Butter, unsalted
- 80 g Water
- 0.5 g Salt
- 25 g Tartar sauce
Method
- For the rizibizi, soften the finely chopped onion in half the butter for 2-3 minutes, add the rinsed rice and stir for 1 minute. Pour in the boiling water with the salt, cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
- Stir the peas and the rest of the butter into the rice, cover again and leave it off the heat for 5 minutes.
- Cut the well-chilled cheese into slices about 1.5 cm thick. Put the flour, the beaten egg and the breadcrumbs in three shallow plates.
- Coat each slice in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, and dip it in the egg and crumbs a second time, so the coating is closed all round and the cheese can't escape.
- Heat the oil about 1.5 cm deep in a frying pan to 170 °C and fry the cheese for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown; take it out as soon as it is coloured, before the cheese leaks.
- Drain briefly on kitchen paper and serve at once with the rizibizi and tartar sauce.
