Picture
These patties were one of my favourite meals when I was a child At the time I had no idea they were a fall back for Mum when money was really tight, I just loved them. Thankfully Mum taught me how to make them, because when Disaster Struck and we had no spare money, this recipe featured often. It's cheap, quick, easy and everything needed was already in my pantry.

These patties are really quick, easy and very cheap. They can be served hot, but are even better cold with salad or on a sandwich.


Quick Rice Patties
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
1 cup rice
1 tsp marmite
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 egg
good pinch mixed herbs

Method:
Cook the rice in boiling, salted water. Drain well. While the rice is still hot, add the marmite, peanut butter, onion and herbs and mix well. Stir in the egg. Take tablespoonfuls of the mixture and shape into patties. Fry in shallow oil until lightly brown and golden on both sides. Drain on absorbent paper.

Alternatively, for a low fat version, spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and bake the patties in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
