2 tbsp fresh basil
2 tbsp oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups water
salt to taste

BREADING

1 tbsp nutrional yeast

oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

• Heat a small amount of oil in a deep pot and fry the onions and garlic until brown. Stir in the rice, herbs, carrot, salt and pepper, and cover in water. Turn down the heat and simmer the rice until it is tender, adding more water if necessary.
• Remove from heat, and allow to cool to a manageable temperature.
• In a medium sized bowl, mix flour, yeast and panko.
• Take a spoonful of rice at a time, and roll into a ping pong ball sized ball, and proceed to coat each ball with the breading.
• Heat the oil, and lightly fry each ball until golden brown, optionally you can bake these, although they will be a lot dryer.
• Serve with fresh tomato sauce.
