Garden Peas, picked and canned on the same day

Valfrutta Garden Peas are tender and sweet, because they are picked and canned on the same day. Delicious and natural, they are full of protein and fibre, for a healthy and balanced diet. Their size makes them ideal as a side dish or perfect in soups.

Preparation:

1 - Boil the rice until it is al dente, drain and put aside.
2 - Sauté the chopped onion in a little oil, add the tomato and cook, salt and pepper to taste.

                                                                                                                      

3 - Mould 12 small rice balls with your fingers, press down in the centre to create a hollow in which to place the drained peas, then mix with the chopped basil and cheese. Seal to create a tapered shape.
4 - Beat the egg with salt and pepper in a bowl, add 1 spoonful of oil and dip the rice balls, drain them, then dip them in the breadcrumbs, covering them completely.

5 - Place the rice balls on a cooking tray, brush them with a little oil and bake in the oven at 200° for 10' until golden in colour. Serve with a tomato sauce.
