Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

10 ounces frozen, chopped Swiss chard, thawed,

excess water pressed out

2 cups cooked short-grain rice -- e.g. brown, sushi, pearl

1/2 cup diced cooked artichoke hearts (drain well

if canned)

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup diced roasted red bell pepper

2 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons water

1/2 cup to 3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs

salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons up to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

 

In a large mixing bowl, combine Swiss chard, rice, artichokes, Parmesan, bell

pepper, 1 egg, and salt. Stir gently, but mix well.

 

Moisten hands with water to prevent sticking, and pat mixture into 6 2-inch

patties, using about 1/3 cup mixture for each. (If making appetizer croquettes,

roll mixture into tablespoon-size balls.)

 

In a small bowl, stir together remaining egg and water. In another small bowl,

place breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Dip each croquette into egg wash, then

into breadcrumbs, coating evenly.

 

In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, saute patties in oil for 2 to 3

minutes per side, until crispy and golden. (Saute small patties in oil for

about 2 minutes per side.)
