Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine chopped onion and olive oil in a large, wide skillet with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, over low heat until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the rice, snipped dried tomatoes, and dried rosemary.
  4. Cook and stir for 1 minute over low heat to toast the rice slightly.
  5. Add the chicken broth and salt to the skillet.
  6. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring once.
  7. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Cook until the liquid is fully absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  8. Uncover the skillet and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
  9. Let the rice mixture stand until it is lukewarm, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  10. Add the lightly beaten egg to the rice mixture and stir thoroughly to blend.
  11. Using a 1/4 cup measure, form the rice mixture into small pancakes about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
  12. Coat a large non-stick skillet or griddle with a thin film of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
  13. Add the rice pancakes to the hot skillet in batches, ensuring they do not crowd the pan.
  14. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  15. Carefully turn the pancakes using a wide spatula and cook the other side until golden brown.
  16. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in the oven on the lowest setting while finishing the remaining batches.
