Cheddar Rice Fritters

Ingredients for Cheddar Rice Fritters

• 240ml water

• 240ml whole milk

• 240ml (200g) long-grain white rice

• 110g coarsely grated sharp Cheddar (350g )

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

• 3 spring onions, finely chopped

• 1 1/4 colheres de chá de sal

• 1/2 colher de chá de pimenta preta

• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

• 350ml fine dry plain bread crumbs

• About 1450ml vegetable oil

• Accompaniment: chilli vinegar dipping sauce

• a deep-fat thermometer

Bring water and milk to a full boil in a 2- to 2 1/2-quart heavy saucepan. Stir in rice, then cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce heat to low. Cook rice, undisturbed, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork, then transfer to a large bowl and stir in cheese, butter, spring onions, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper until cheese is melted. Cool, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes, then stir in eggs until combined well. Stir together bread crumbs and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in another large bowl.

Working in small batches, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of rice mixture into bread crumbs, rolling to coat and knocking off excess, then transfer to a tray. Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until it registers 185°C on thermometer, then fry fritters in 4 batches, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 185°C between batches.
