Ham and Rice Croquettes

These ham and rice croquettes are a wonderful way to transform simple store-cupboard staples into a sophisticated, high-protein snack. By combining chilled white rice with salty, savoury ham and sharp parmesan, you create a rich filling that contrasts beautifully with a crisp, golden breadcrumb coating. They make a fantastic addition to a weekend brunch or can be served as an impressive appetiser when entertaining guests.

Ideal for those looking for a filling, protein-rich dish, these croquettes are also a brilliant solution for using up leftover rice from a previous meal. The recipe is straightforward and quick to prepare, requiring only a few minutes in a frying pan to achieve that perfect crunch. Serve them alongside a zesty garlic aioli or a simple green salad for a balanced and satisfying lunch.

Ingredients for Ham and Rice Croquettes

  • 375g cooked white rice, cooled

  • 140g finely chopped cooked ham (about 110g )

  • 50g grated parmesan

  • 2 large eggs, divided

  • 120ml plain dry bread crumbs

  • About 725ml vegetable oil

  • Equipment: a deep-fat thermometer

Stir together rice, ham, cheese, 1 egg, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Put remaining egg (lightly beaten) and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls.

Heat 1 to 1 1/2 inches oil to 177°C in a 10-inch skillet over high heat. Meanwhile, dampen your hands and form 1/4-cup amounts of rice mixture into 2 1/2-inch cakes. Lightly coat with egg, then with bread crumbs. Fry croquettes in 2 batches, turning once or twice, until golden-brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
