Preparation

Soak gelatine in a small bowl of water for 5 minutes or until softened. Drain, squeeze out excess water and set aside.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until starting to brown. Slowly whisk in milk and continue stirring until mixture boils and thickens. Stir in gelatine until dissolved, then strain into a bowl. Stir in cheese, rice and herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until cool. Roll mixture into 8 even-sized logs.

Place egg mixture, flour and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Dust rice logs with flour, shake off excess, then dip in egg and coat in breadcrumbs.

Fill a deep-fryer or saucepan one-third full with oil and heat over medium heat to 180°C (or until a cube of bread turns golden in 10 seconds). Working in 2 batches, drop croquettes into the oil and fry, turning halfway, for 4 minutes or until crisp and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Serve immediately with beef skirt steak and black bean broth.

* Gelatine leaves are from delis and specialist food shops.

Clarified butter

To make clarified butter gently melt unsalted butter over low heat. After time the butter will form three distinct layers - the foam on top (which is skimmed off and discarded), the milk solids (which will sink to the bottom) and the clarified butter will be left in the middle.
