  • In a bowl, mix cooked rice, zucchini, carrots, garlic, onion, and green beans thoroughly.
  • Add egg and breadcrumbs and fold to form a rice and vegetable dough. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Form small dough balls to make the meatballs. Dip them in egg, coat with flour, and remove excess flour.
  • In a skillet, heat oil and fry rice meatballs until evenly golden-brown.
  • In the same skillet, deglaze with the tomato purée or ground tomatoes. Add chicken broth, season, and cook for 5 more minutes or until the rice meatballs absorb the flavors in the tomato sauce.
