Great! I used brown rice and doubled it, taking the Parmesan cheese to about 2/3 cup. (Which was plenty.) I added some spicy Emeril's Essence in place of poultry seasoning. These fry up very quickly, just a minute or two and done! They can be made ahead. I let them hang out on the kitchen counter for about an hour after frying, then heated them on a sheet pan in a hot oven for a few minutes. These little rice balls also take nicely to dipping sauce - the sky is the limit as far as compatible flavors. We mixed bbq sauce and a little mayo. Delicious plain, too!

These were wonderful....and fun! I know, it's the little things that make me happy! These would go great with almost any meat entree, especially if you dribbled a little gravy over them, if you made gravy! But they are great as a stand alone, also. Thnx for sharing your recipe, ghostly vision. Made for PAC Spring 2010. You've been adopted! http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
