Cheddar Rice Fritters

These golden Cheddar rice fritters are a wonderful way to transform simple store-cupboard staples into a sophisticated vegetarian snack or side dish. The combination of long-grain rice, sharp mature Cheddar, and fresh spring onions creates a savoury, comforting centre, while the fine breadcrumb coating provides a satisfyingly crisp finish. They are particularly effective when served as an appetiser for a casual dinner party or as a substantial addition to a weekend lunch spread.

This recipe is highly versatile and works beautifully alongside a sharp chilli vinegar dipping sauce to cut through the richness of the cheese. Prepared in under an hour, these fritters are an excellent introduction to deep-frying at home, offering a professional result with minimal effort. For the best flavour, ensure you use a high-quality, strong Cheddar that melts smoothly into the warm rice mixture.

How to make Cheddar Rice Fritters

Bring water and milk to a full boil in a 2- to 2 1/2-quart heavy saucepan. Stir in rice, then cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce heat to low. Cook rice, undisturbed, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork, then transfer to a large bowl and stir in cheese, butter, spring onions, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper until cheese is melted. Cool, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes, then stir in eggs until combined well. Stir together bread crumbs and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in another large bowl.

Working in small batches, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of rice mixture into bread crumbs, rolling to coat and knocking off excess, then transfer to a tray. Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until it registers 185°C on thermometer, then fry fritters in 4 batches, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 185°C between batches.
