Brown Rice and Goat Cheese Cakes image

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup medium-grain brown rice
1 1/2 cups water
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
6 medium shallots, chopped
2 medium carrots, shredded
1/2 cup toasted pecans
3 ounces goat cheese
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring rice and water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer at the lowest bubble until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, 30 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add shallots; cook, stirring often, until soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • dd carrots, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, until softened and the shallots are lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Transfer the cooked vegetables and rice to a large food processor. Add pecans, goat cheese, egg white, thyme, salt and pepper. Pulse until well blended but still a little coarse. Scrape into a large bowl. With wet hands, form the mixture into six 3-inch patties (about 1/2 cup each).
  • Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle registers at least 160 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes.

I don't have any brown rice. Can I use white rice instead?

I'm allergic to goat cheese. Is there a substitute I could use?

Do you think I could use a different type of cheese in this recipe?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cakes turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

The cakes were a little dry for my taste, but I think that was because I overcooked them. I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the batter, and they gave the cakes a delicious pop of flavor.

These cakes were really easy to make, and they're a great way to use up leftover rice.

I used a different type of goat cheese than the recipe called for, but the cakes still turned out great. They were a little more tangy than I expected, but I liked that.

I'm not usually a fan of goat cheese, but it worked surprisingly well in this recipe. The cakes were light and fluffy, with a crispy exterior.

These rice cakes were a hit at my dinner party! The goat cheese added a creamy and tangy flavor that balanced perfectly with the nutty brown rice.
