Free Healthy Recipe - Sesame Rice Balls

Dairy free, Gluten free, Low fat, Low GI, Wheat Free

Let's be honest here, it's unlikely you'll be standing around the Christmas drinks do with a glass of mineral water all night, so these are an excellent canape to help absorb some of the alcohol. Brown rice has more B group vitamins than white rice which is helpful since B is lost with excess alcohol intake.

Ingredients
½ cup carrots, finely diced
¼ cup shallots, finely diced
30 grams sesame seeds
2 sheets nori seaweed, cut into strips 1.5 cm thick
Method

Place the rice in a pan with 2 ½ cups of cold water and a pinch sea salt. Bring to the boil and reduce to simmer for 30 - 35 minutes until cooked.

In a food processor grind half the cooked rice until it becomes sticky and glues together. Add it to a bowl with the remaining rice, vegetables, and sesame oil.
Using your hands take a small amount of the rice and veggie mix and make a ball the size of a 50 cent piece. Push index finger through to centre and place a dob of umeboshi and close up the ball.

Continue this process until all the rice mix has been used. Roll each ball in the sesame seed and wind a strip of damp nori around each ball.
Brush each ball with sesame oil.
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 160C.
Serve with a dipping sauce of tamari.

Makes 16 servings (serve = 1 ball)
