Preparation:
  1. Rinse the rice under cold running water multiple times until the water runs clear.

  2. Wash the celery and peel the carrot, then blend them together.

  3. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and set aside.

  4. Place the flour on one plate and combine the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese on another plate, then set aside.

  5. Sauté the onion along with the blended carrot and celery, allowing them to stew for approximately 7–10 minutes. Add a cube of butter and wait for it to melt.

  6. Add the rinsed rice, Vegeta seasoning, black pepper, and dried parsley. Stir for about a minute, then add 200 ml of water.

  7. Cook until the rice expands, adding water gradually two more times.

  8. Turn off the heat, incorporate 2-3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, and stir. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for an additional 20 minutes.

  9. Once the rice has cooled, shape it into balls or rolls using a spoon.

  10. Coat the formed croquettes first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb and Parmesan cheese mixture.

  11. Fry immediately in hot oil until they are well browned.

  12. Place the finished croquettes on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil and serve with steaks, spinach, or mashed potatoes.

Buon appetito!
