Cottage Cheese Patties

INGREDIENTS

1 large onion cut in quarters
500gms cottage cheese (I used low fat)
2 cups of boiled rice
1 egg
1 pkt leek and cheese soup
2 tbsp of plain wholemeal flour
70gms rolled oats
egg wash
multigrain bread crumbs

METHOD

*Chop onion on sp6 for 5 secs
*Add all the remaining ingredients to the   except egg wash and crumbs and combine   sp4 for 10 - 12 secs (this will be a moist mix)
*Refrigerate for 1 hour.
*Form into patties - refrigerate again for 1/2 hour if necessary
*Dip in egg wash and coat in bread crumbs
*Refrigerate for 1 hour
*Heat a tbsp of oil and gently cook about 6 mins each side or until golden brown

Makes 16 man sized patties. For lunch boxes form into balls using a small scoop - makes heaps

Tip: You need to work quickly with the mix and refrigerate as necessary - it is a moist mix and a bit fiddly.

I have no idea where the recipe come from, I have been making it since before kids and know they loved them in their lunch box. My recipe is hand written.

Yummy Michelle, I will try them.

[Amy :-)]

These look great Mich What do you serve them with? I imagine they might be nice with sweet chilli sauce

[mcmich]

Usually just cold on their own. Chilli sauce would be nice with them - DH would like that.  

[Amy :-)]

Thanks Mich I'm trying to find some nice vego meals that mum and SD would enjoy. Your meatless balls are also on my list

Sounds yummy, and I'm starting to think about lunchbox ideas - especially savoury & filling things. Thanks!

[Amy :-)]

Mich, I loved loved loved these patties Thanks for the recipe!!!!
I baked mine in the oven and served with Chookie's 2-second salad

They look good. Glad you liked them Amy.

[Frozzie]

Sound good.. We make a similar recipes but not the same quantities and with french onion soup..i love them .

[Amy :-)]

Good idea Kim

Mich, we're going to have the leftovers in sandwiches today I can't wait! Yummmy

I think baking them in the oven is a great idea Amy. Do you think these would work with ricotta, or would it be too sloppy?

[Amy :-)]

Thanks Cookie Is ricotta sloppier than cottage cheese? I did find that they were very fragile to flip with the baking method, but I don't know how it compares to frying because I didn't fry any. Mich might have a better answer

[Frozzie]

Depends amy.. Normally commercial ricotta ie in a tub are more liquid but other forms from the deli can be alot less liquid

[mcmich]

I think a firm ricotta would work.
I couldn't find cheese and leek soup when I went looking for it. May have to use Frozzie's version of French onion soup.
I'm going to try them in the oven next time - excellent idea Amy.
