Tuna in Olive Oil 160gr
Ingredients
Rio Mare Tuna in Olive Oil 1 x 160g can
Rice 300g
Onion 1
Stock 1 litro
Olive oil 40g
Mozzarella 200g
Eggs 2
Tomato sauce 150g
Oregano A dash
Frying oil to taste
Flour to taste
Breadcrumbs to taste
Salt to taste
Process
1. Slice the onion and brown it in a pan with the olive oil. Add 100g of tomato pulp and the oregano. Add the rice and let marinate. Add the stock a bit at a time and stir regularly until a reasonably dry risotto is obtained. Remove from the flame and add one whole egg. Pour the rice onto a cutting board and allow it to cool.
2. Drain a small piece of tuna, place it in a bowl. Add the chopped mozzarella and the remaining tomato pulp.
3. Put a large spoon of the cold rice into the palm of your hand and add a small piece of the tuna and mozzarella stuffing, forming a ball with the stuffing inside. Repeat the operation until all the ingredients had been used up. Beat the remaining egg adding a pinch of salt.
4. Cover the rice croquettes with flour, run them through the beaten egg and top off with breadcrumbs. Deep fry until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot.
