Hungarian-style cheesy rice patties | Crispy zero-waste dish

Finely chop the onion and sauté in 1 tablespoon of oil until translucent. Crush 2 cloves of garlic and finely chop the parsley.

In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cold leftover cooked rice, grated Trappist cheese, sautéed onion, crushed garlic, and half of the parsley.

Add the eggs, sweet paprika, salt, pepper, and half of the breadcrumbs, then knead the mixture thoroughly. If necessary, add a little more breadcrumbs to achieve a shapeable consistency.
