Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped heartnuts, cooked rice, and white bread crumbs.
  2. Add the beaten eggs, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, crumbled sage, dried thyme, fresh parsley, finely grated onions, and black pepper to the bowl.
  3. Toss all ingredients together thoroughly until well blended and evenly distributed.
  4. Form the mixture into round patties, packing them just enough to hold their shape without being too dense.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Fry the patties quickly on both sides to form a light, golden crust.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for about eight minutes, turning once, until the patties are cooked through.
  8. Serve warm, optionally topped with a warm cheese sauce.
