Allison, these sound very good

I would think they'd be tasty rolled in almond meal.

Also, this might be a good recipe for chopped cooked chicken instead of tuna.

The cooking time probably depends a lot on how big you make the balls. How big do you usually make them?

Thanks for posting the recipe!

: I looked in my recipe box and I found
: the ingredients list for the
: croquettes I mentioned in an
: earlier post, so I will post the
: recipe as best I can remember how
: to make it

: 1 cup cooked brown rice
: 1 T butter
: 2 T whole grain flour
: 1/2 C milk
: 1 can tuna
: 2 T minced onion
: 2 T lemon juice
: 1/2 tsp salt
: 1/3 C Butter
: 1 egg
: 3 T milk
: 1 1/2 C whole grain bread crumbs

: Melt 1 T butter, add flour to make a
: paste. Add 1/2 cup milk and cook
: over low heat until it thickens
: into a white sauce.
: Mix rice, tuna, onion, lemon juice,
: salt, and white sauce in a bowl.
: Form into balls.

: Melt 1/3 cup butter and place in
: shallow bowl. Mix egg and 3 T milk
: and place in another shallow bowl.
: Place bread crumbs in a flat dish
: like a pie plate.

: Roll balls in egg mixture, crumbs,
: butter, then crumbs again and
: place on baking dish. Bake at 350
: until outside is crisp and they
: are heated through. (I can't
: remember how long they take, and I
: put 350 because that is sort of a
: default oven temperature.)

: I'm thinking these would make a good
: portable snack for pre- workout
: etc. Since I am trying to cut way
: down on gluten, I will try
: crushing up my gluten free
: crackers for crumbs, and I may
: only dip them in egg and then
: crumbs. I could also try oats or
: crushed nuts. Anyone else have any
: ideas for a crumb substitute?
