Gourmet Cookie Bouquets Recipe Blog

Ingredients:

• 3/4 lb. rice
• 1 lb. ricotta
• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 1 cup toasted bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup olive or peanut oil
• Salt to taste

Cook rice in 3 quarts of rapidly boiling salted water about 25 minutes or until done. Drain and cool, spread 1 tablespoon of rice on palm of hand; place 1 tbs. of ricotta over rice; sprinkle with salt; top with more rice; shape into round or oblong croquettes. Continue until all rice and ricotta are used. Dip croquettes in well beaten egg; roll in bread crumbs. Fry in very hot olive or peanut oil about 3 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Serve hot as a side dish with meat or fowl. May be served also as a gourmet dessert. Simply roll in powdered sugar and serve hot or cold. Serves 6 to 8.

It's not the usual recipe for cookies or brownies that you'd expect, but equally tasty!
