Steps:

  • Place the rice and stock cube in a saucepan and pour in 900ml (11/2 pints) water. Place over a high heat, and bring to the boil. Cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is just tender.
  • Drain the rice thoroughly, then stir in the cheese and pesto and allow to cool.
  • Using dampened hands, divide the rice and roll into walnut-sized balls. Roll in the breadcrumbs to coat well.
  • Heat about 1cm (1/2in) oil in a frying pan. Fry the balls for 5-10 minutes, or until crisp and golden on the outside. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with basil leaves (if desired). Alternatively, the balls can be deep-fried for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden.
