Rice balls with cheese and dill are a refined appetizer inspired by European cuisine. The combination of airy rice, tender cheese, and fresh herbs creates a harmony of flavors: the softness of butter highlights the creamy note of the cheese, while dill adds a light spiciness. These balls are perfect as a light snack or an accompaniment to main dishes. They can be served at festive tables or as a cozy home treat. The aesthetics of the dish also play a role: neat balls arranged on lettuce leaves look appetizing and elegant. The simplicity of preparation makes this recipe accessible to everyone, and variations in herbs allow for experimentation with flavor nuances.
