Preparation

Rice Patties: Cook the brown rice in water (1:1) for 1 ½ hours and let it steam. Do not add salt! Blanch finely diced vegetables in half a liter of salted water and drain.

Season vigorously, form rolls, and let them cool. Fry in slices.

Tomato Sauce: Sweat finely chopped onions in olive oil. Briefly sauté with tomato paste and quartered tomatoes. Add vegetable stock and season with spices and fresh herbs.

Side Dish: Soak the raisins in 125 ml of water. Heat the butter and roast the pine nuts in it, add chopped onions, and sauté. Briefly blanch the chard, rinse with cold water, and season mildly. Finally, add the raisins and serve with the fried rice patties.
