This can easily be modified for specific dietary restrictions. I always make a double batch, since they freeze well. After letting them thaw, they quickly and easily brown in the pan for a fresh cooked taste. I have made them with all beef, as well as a pork and beef mixture. If oats are substituted for rice, they need to be soaked prior to using them.
- 1 cup cooked rice that is cooled
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 finely diced onion sauteed and cooled
- 1 large clove of garlic finely chopped
- Place all ingredients in large bowl. Using your hands mix everything thoroughly. If it appears too wet, adjust by adding more meat . Using a large cookie scoop, drop meat into a hot cast iron skillet, and flatten. Brown nicely before flipping them over to finish cooking.
