Instructions

Patties

Step 1

We start with the rice, wash, sprout and cook with the bay leaf according to a previous recipe (How to: Cook Rice). Also check out How to: Sprouting if you interested in sprouting your grains and legumes.

Step 2

Let the rice cool down completely.

Step 3

Peel, devein and wash the shrimp. And pat dry.

Step 4

Roughly chop the greens and the shrimp.

Step 5

Place all ingredients; rice shrimp & greens with salt and black pepper, into a food processor with a couple of teaspoons of olive oil.

Step 6

Pulse the mixture, then process on low to medium speed. Don’t over process it or the rice will turn gluey and you’ll overheat the shrimp.

Step 7

Once all incorporated. Now on to shaping the patties into whatever shape you like.

Step 8

First oil your hand so the mixture won’t stick to your hand.

Step 9

Shape into patties or balls. Each patty is around 25-30g, and that will yield 15 to 16 pieces.

Step 10

There are many ways of cooking the patties, the most basic way is to cook them in a preheated oven for 20minutes on 200 degrees celsius, if your oven has a fan it will take 15mins.
