White and crispy, sure, but often … not very tasty: we are talking about rice cakes, a snack that has become very popular in recent years. There are those who munch them instead of bread, those who use them as an afternoon snack and those, on the other hand, who don’t particularly like them, complaining of an overly anonymous taste.
But did you know that, with the right ingredients, they can turn into a tasty snack? Let’s find out together how to flavor rice balls thanks to Frantoio Muraglia extra virgin olive oil and some recipes to make them really irresistible!
Spices and oil are certainly good ingredients for turning an uninviting rice cakes into a nice snack with a totally different taste. Start with the classic flavorings: rosemary, paprika, salt, basil or chili pepper. Add a drizzle of extra virgin oil and you have delicious spicy rice cakes that are much more inviting.
What’s the point of munching on an overly anonymous snack? Instead of overdoing it, try seasoning a galette the right way to give it a more chic patina and satisfy your craving for something tasty. On their side, in fact, galettes have the characteristic of adapting to both sweet and savory: they thus give you the chance to experiment and give your imagination a green light
Our extra virgin olive oil, with its rich taste and many nuances of flavor, is the best ally in this endeavor: thanks to its fragrances, seasoning a rice cake will become child’s play.
Frantoio Muraglia’s evo oil can also add a touch of refinement and an infinity of aromatic nuances to rice cakes: the fruity notes of the oil marry perfectly with the crunchiness of the rice, creating a perfect balance of flavours and fragrances
An example? Our Basil Aromatic Oil: born from the pressing of olives with Basilico Genovese DOP, it brings all the flavour of both ingredients to your home and allows you to season your rice cakes in a simple and irresistible way. Try them with a spreadable cheese, such as a simple robiola cheese, add a drizzle of this oil and get ready to enjoy an enveloping and fragrant rice cake!
The same applies to our Chilli Pepper Aromatic Oil, which is ideal if you love stronger flavours. In this case, we have chosen to use another excellence, such as the Calabrian chilli pepper and to create an aromatic oil with unique fragrances. On the other hand, if you have an ethnic taste in cooking, you can season rice cakes with Ginger Aromatic Oil and thus add an extra touch of freshness.
And for those who want to stay true to the Mediterranean tradition? In this case, it is our fruity oils that are the real protagonists: Intense Fruity, born of the Coratina olive and the nuances of dill, fennel, pepper and hay and the more delicate Medium Fruity which exudes the fragrances of tomato, radish and rocket typical of the Peranzana olive.
And for those who want to be daring, here is the Aromatic Garlic and Chilli Peper Oil: ideal not only on spaghetti but also to enrich a simple rice cake with flavour.
If bread and oil remains an evergreen combination, then the one with rice cake is no joke either: how about preparing a Mediterranean rice cake with a few ingredients, but full of flavour?
Cut some fresh cherry tomatoes and use them to season it; then add a few cubes of mozzarella cheese, some salt, a drizzle of Basil Aromatic Oil and savour: the taste will leave you breathless! After all, you know, the combination of mozzarella, tomato and oil is a timeless classic!
Looking for an alternative? Spread the cheese and add some anchovies, some cherry tomatoes, a chopped olive and our Ginger Aromatic Oil.
To a variety of ingredients, ranging from salmon to chickpeas, avocado to chives. If you prefer delicate flavours, you can try flavouring a rice cake with a spreadable cheese (Philadelphia or ricotta cheese are perfect), a few slices of smoked salmon, a sprinkling of fresh dill and a drizzle of our Medium Fruity.
Another recipe for seasoning rice cakes? Here it is: spread them with Greek yoghurt, add a teaspoon of mustard, basil and chives and complete with a drizzle of Lemon Aromatic Oil for an extra touch of freshness.
And for an exotic variation? In this case, the recipe for really tasty rice cakes is to add chickpea hummus (you can make it following our tips), sliced avocado, a little paprika and a drizzle of Intense Fruity Oil.
