Italian Rice Croquettes

1. Soften onion in the heated butter. Add rice. Sauté until glazed. Stir in parsley and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in eggs, cheese, basil and black pepper. Mixture will be very moist.

2. Shape into 12 - 16 croquettes, depending on desired size, and roll in bread crumbs. Fry in 1/4 - 1/2 cup olive oil until golden and crisp. Drain. Garnish with parsley.

3. NOTE: I use a deep fryer and canola oil. Personal preference.
