I have a patient who makes and brings in her Italian Deep Fried Rice Balls for us at the office. Finally, someone asked her for the recipe. SHe gave a basic recipe/ list of ingredients. I will attempt to make them , but the ingredients call for 2 egg yolks. For some reason, egg yolks kinda skeevs me a little ( dont know why) so I was wondering if I can just leave them out. DO they add to the consistency? Flavor? Binder? .....
Here are the list of ingredients.
16oz ricotta
parmesan cheese
Mozzarella cheese
parsley
salt/ pepper
2 egg yolks
Long grain rice cooked and dried
Mix all together and make balls out of them
Whip egg whites.
Dip the balls in egg whites
then roll in bread crumbs
deep fry
So again, what purpose do the egg yolks have in this recipe? And would it make much of a difference if I left them out?
