This recipe is a winner every time as it’s just about honouring the ratios of the ingredients to each other so you don’t actually need anything specific except eggs.

1/3 cup cooked carb = 1 portion so scale as required.

For a bais combo, mix 1 cup of cooked carb (rice, buckwheat, quinoa, barley, potato, sweet potato, parsnip, carrots etc.

Coarsely grate or chop root veg) with 1/2 cup cooked protein, with around 1/2 cup softened veg & 1 egg. If you have leftover roasted mixed veg just chop these up small & use them!

Key Facts

  • Time saving
  • Simple recipe
  • High in protein
  • Low in carbs

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 heaped cup cooked & shredded ham rump
  • 1.5 heaped cups chopped herb stalks (parsley, dill, coriander)
  • 2/3 cup crumbled feta
  • 2 large eggs
  • salt & pepper

Preparation

01

Preheat your oven to 200°C.

02

Mix everything together well with your hands, these are the best tools & you’ll get everything well bound this way.

03

Pinch off a small amount, make a patty & press into a hot dry frying pan. Cook until golden then flip & seal on the other side.

04

Taste & check the seasoning & just ensure your mix holds together - if it falls apart add another egg.

05

Then form patties with the rest of the mix, seal in your hot pan before transferring to a lined baking sheet & cooking for 10-12 minutes until hot through.

06

Serve with steamed greens or a big salad, or leave to cool & then pop in the fridge for use within a week.

If using rice you must ALWAYS either eat cold or reheat through fully before serving.
