FOR THE MEATBALLS

FOR FRYING

Cover the rice with plenty of water and cook for about 15 minutes until just tender. Strain and place in a bowl.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until it glistens; remove it with a slotted spoon and add it to the rice along with the rest of the meatball ingredients. Mix well then form short, cigar-shaped meatballs from the mixture.

Heat the frying oil in a large frying pan, dip each meatball in the beaten egg and then roll it in the breadcrumbs. Fry meatballs until crisp and golden all over. They are best served immediately.
