Spanish Chorizo and Feta Cheese Rice Cake Recipe

In my house, there is a clear rule, NO FOOD WASTE! I really really hate to throw away food, not only because food is expensive, but also because there so many people without it that having it feels like being blessed….

And this is where this recipe comes from. I cook rice almost every day, because like Italians that eat pasta every day, back in Venezuela we eat rice almost every day, is basically our primary carb and these rice cakes are perfect for when you have leftover rice.

These Spanish Chorizo and Feta Cheese Rice Cakes  are flavoursome, wholesome, easy to make and a hit with kids and adults! and a great way to make kids eat their veggies by adding them into the mix as the smokiness of the chorizo tends to “hide” the flavour of the veggies perfect for fussy kids…

One of the reasons I love these rice cakes is because the flavour combination given by the chorizo, Feta cheese, Parmesan and Chive is one of smoky, tangy and salty which is very satisfying!
