In a 4 quart pot, place the pork, onion, green pepper, garlic, salt, black pepper and cayenne. Cover with water to reach about 2 inches over the mixture.

Remove the mixture from the pot, reserving the broth, and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add some of the broth, the parsley,green onion and 3/4 cup of the cooked rice and process until pretty smooth .( A pate consistency) Add more of the broth if needed..I used about 3/4 cup total.

Remove the mixture to a bowl, stir in the reserved 3/4 cup of cooked rice. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or even over night if you wish.

When ready to cook, form the meat mixture into smooth little balls a little bigger than a walnut but smaller than a golf ball. At this point you can freeze any that you don't want to cook..just partially thaw before breading.

With your breading station set up, dust the balls in flour, then the egg mixture and finally the seasoned crumbs. Pan fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side and drain on paper toweling before serving.
