Every time I make these rice and cheese fritters, I literally travel back in time. It’s incredible how flavors act as a catalyst for memory. The first bite of this delicacy has the power to transport me, always, to my childhood in Caracas… And to my grandmother Ligia’s kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a leftover recipe that I prepare frequently, and I like these rice fritters so much that sometimes I make extra white rice just to have an excuse to make them. They turn out golden on the outside, soft on the inside, and are perfect for breakfast, snack time, or as a side dish.<\/p>\n\n\n

    My Grandma Ligia’s Recipe<\/em><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    My grandma Ligia used to prepare these rice fritters for dinner, with the rice left over from lunch. Or for lunch, with the rice left over from the day before. At any time of day, these fritters were highly appreciated.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She was the queen of recycling and making the most of leftovers. I grew up hearing her say that throwing away food was a sin. I can still hear her repeating, endlessly, that you had to eat everything.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Her unbeatable argument was that there were many people in the world who didn’t have a crust of bread to put in their mouths.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sermon aside, these fritters are a delight. Neither sweet nor salty: simply addictive. If I don’t make them more often, it’s because I tend to avoid fried foods. But when I prepare them, they disappear quickly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
