Chicken nuggets (beige)

[stephbg]

Felt sufficiently better to put my creative beige hat on in the kitchen and had another go at my version of chicken nuggets. I think these even qualify as gluten free. Certainly additive-free, preservative-free, no artificial colours or flavours. Thank god for salt I say.

Beige Chicken Nuggets
(Makes n)



Ingredients:
* Leftover boiled white rice
* However much of the chicken mince has defrosted
* An egg of uncertain age
* Minced garlic (about a teaspoon, but, y'know, whatever)
* However many spring onions are left in the fridge
* Some chives
* Some parsley
* Some salt
* Rice flour as required
* Sunflower oil corresponding to the depth of frying one feels comfortable with.

Method:

1. Heat oil in pan.

2. Mix everything else together.

3. Add rice flour to thicken mixture until it seems conceivable that little patties of it will hold together. Repeat. Again. And again.

4. Roll small amounts into flat patties.

5. Coat patties in rice flour.

6. Fry until whatever shade of brown appeals.

7. Allow to cool a smidge.

8. Salt to taste and enjoy.

A little bit dry, but no more so than commercial nuggets. Would be great with dipping sauce. Sweet chilli in my dreams, but mashed pear with citric acid (lemon flavour) in my future.

Has the beige diet paid off? Have you worked out any specific intolerances? Are you cursed to eat beige food forever?

Heh. I end up following recipes worded like this a lot (egg of certain age, whatever mince has defrosted). They're my favorite kind!
