These beef and rice croquettes are so filling. I love serving these as appetizers for my special guests and I'm glad to say that they are always satisfied.
Dice the onions and cloves. Pour 2 tablespoons oil onto the frying pan and add these diced onions and cloves.
Saute until onions and cloves turn pink. Then add half of the minced meat. Stir until the minced beef is thoroughly sauteed and absorbs water.
Then turn off the stove and set aside the minced meat. Meanwhile, wash the rice and boil in a pot with 1 ½ cup of water added to it.
When the rice is boiled, sieve it using a strainer and make it cool.
Add the boiled rice, sauteed minced meat, the other half of the minced beef, egg, bread crumbs, salt, red pepper and black pepper into the kneading bowl, and knead well.
Set aside the mix you kneaded in the fridge for 34 to 40 minutes.
After setting aside, take egg-sized pieces from the mix and roll (do not make them too small).
Beat the egg and dip the rolled pieces firstly in the egg, then in the bread crumbs.
Fry the meatballs in the saucepan until both sides turn brown. Serve hot.
