Preparation:
Rinse the rice under running cold water several times.
Pour a little oil in a small pan, fry the rice on moderate heat and mix well. After 1 minute, add 1 glass of water, stir occasionally, let the rice swell a little, then add 2 more times after every 10 minutes, when you see that there is a lack of liquid.
After 30 minutes, the rice is ready. If there is any liquid left in the rice, strain it. Let it cool down to room temperature.
Prepare all the ingredients as described above. Zucchini, carrots, and potatoes are grated and placed in a deep dish and salted.
Let it stand for half an hour. After the elapsed time, drain the liquid well.
Place in another bowl with chopped spring onions, garlic, and eggs and rice.
Mix everything well, then add salt and pepper to taste. Knead well again.
In this recipe, I used crumbs. I added as much as needed to make the mixture compact.
Make small ping pong sized balls.
Fry in hot olive oil, then press with fork gently, until well browned on all sides.
Place the finished fried balls on a kitchen towel.
