Method

Step 1 of 4

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan, add the onion, leek, mushrooms, and garlic and cook over a medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes until softened and golden in places. Add the rice and stir well, then add the stock and wine, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is almost all absorbed and the rice is tender and cooked through, adding more stock if necessary.

Step 2 of 4

Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool for 20 minutes. The mixture will not only cool but more liquid will be absorbed and the rice will become a little more stodgy.

Step 3 of 4

Divide the mixture into 8 and mould each portion into a large patty, then toss liberally in the cornmeal and set aside.

Step 4 of 4

Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan and cook the cakes over a medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crisp. Serve hot with a simple dressed salad.
