Time 1h40m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds chicken giblets
1 cup water
½ teaspoon salt
4 cups salted water
2 cups long grain white rice, uncooked
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup marinara sauce
¼ cup dry bread crumbs
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup dry bread crumbs for coating
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Combine chicken giblets, 1 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a pressure cooker; cook for about 20 minutes.
  • Drain giblets and let cool, about 10 minutes. Chop giblets in a food processor or by hand; set aside.
  • Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Spread cooked rice onto a baking sheet to cool, about 5 minutes. Transfer rice to a large bowl.
  • Mix in giblets, grated Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, eggs, parsley, salt, and ground pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Remove rice and giblet mixture from refrigerator and form 2-inch, football shaped croquettes. Roll croquettes in bread crumbs and place on a baking sheet.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook breaded croquettes until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

I've made these rice croquettes several times and they always turn out perfectly. The key is to use cold rice and to not overcook them.

These Italian rice croquettes were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, with just the right amount of cheese. I'll definitely be making them again.
