Baked Meat & Rice Croquettes (Turkey)
- 1.1 lbs minced lamb meat, medium fatty
- 1 onion
- 1/3 cup rice
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup bread crumbs
Firstly, pour a bit more than 1 cup water over the rice and cook it over low heat until the rice soaks the water totally.
Pour the oil into a frying pan and make it turn to hot. Add small onion pieces and fry them until they turn into transparent.
Add half of the meat on it. Cook it by stirring constantly, until the meat turns into small pieces.
Add salt, black pepper and cumin just before removing it from the stove. Then let it cool down.
And then, mix the cool meat with boiled rice. Finally add row meat.
Knead the mixture until it turns into homogeneous (for about 2-3 minutes).
Pick lemon size pieces from the mixture and shape them oval. Dip them into whisked egg at first, then cover with crumbs.
Place the prepared croquettes into the greased baking tray. Place the tray into the oven which is preheated to 374 F and bake them for half hour.
Serve them warm.
