I have long campaigned for imagination as the answer to our food waste problem. I hope today’s reworking of one of our most common culinary leftover is a thought provoking trigger next time you make a little extra for a meal & then shove that pot to the back of the fridge to forget about it.
Recipe makes 3-4 waffles.
Add the rice to a pan with 1.5 cups water, cook, stirring well until all the water is absorbed. You should end up with a rough paste. Transfer to a bowl & leave to cool for a few mins.
Preheat your waffle iron. Then add the rest of your ingredients to the rice, whisk well & spoon 1/2 cup per waffle into your hot iron. Cook for 7-8 minutes.
Serve with fresh veggies, sriracha & crispy fava beans.
