Wild Rice Cakes

[Remy]

Does anyone have a good recipe for Wild Rice cakes. I stopped for dinner on the way home from the BWCA the other day and I ordered Walleye since I was unable to catch any myself:( but it come with Wild Rice Cakes and I never had them before and I thought they were delicious. Well I suppose anything would taste real good after spending 5 days camping and eating granola and stuff like that.

Yield: About 15 cakes

Ingredients:

clarified butter for sautéing

1 tsp fresh chopped garlic

1 Cup Wild rice mix of 50% texmati rice, 30% wild rice, 20%whole wheat

kernels

1 Cup water

1 Cup chicken stock

½ Cup finely diced red onion

½ Cup finely diced celery

3 eggs

½ Cup hi-gluten flour (approximate amount)

Procedure:

1. Coat a medium sauce pot with clarified butter and sauté the yellow onion, garlic and rice for 2 minute. Add stock, water, salt and pepper, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and all the liquid is absorbed. Let the rice cool before proceeding.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, red onion, celery and beaten eggs. Mix in enough flour to create a batter that is thick and sticky enough to hold a shape. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Cook the pancakes on a griddle or non-stick skillet. Form the cakes into 3” x 2” rectangles and cook in clarified butter over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side so that the rice becomes crisp but not burnt.

Enjoy, I certainly will too.
