Arancini di Riso (Rice Balls)


By Michael's Kitchen (Visit website)




I have no idea where I found this picture other than the internet 

I had been wanting to try making arancini di riso for a while now. Arancini di riso are fried balls of rice. The balls of rice commonly contain things like ragu, mozzarella, peas, etc. You can make the rice from scratch for the arancini but it is a great way to breath some fresh life into your leftover risotto. Normally risotto disappears before I think about making arancini but this time I made sure to leave enough of the risotto to make the "rice" balls. I decided to keep it simple and just add a cube of mozzarella cheese. I had some leftover marinara sauce in the freezer and I though that it would be a good idea to serve the rice balls on some of it. The rice balls are fairly easy to make. It is pretty much the same as any other breaded fried food; You dip the rice balls into the egg, then the bread crumbs, and then you fry them. I used the risotto directly from the fridge so it was cold, easy to work with and it held together. The arancini on marinara sauce were really tasty! They were nice and crispy on the outside and warm and gooey on the inside. Both the mozzarella and the parmigiano reggiano in the risotto had melted.  The first time I had these was at an Italian Place.  And we feel in love with these little jewels of goodness.


Ingredients:
Left over RisottoMozzarella cheese cut into cubes 1 each egg, lightly beatenParmigiano Reggiano Cheese (grated)Panko BreadcrumbsVegetable oil for fryingLeft-over Marinara Sauce
Directions:
Form the rice into balls and press the cheese into the middleRoll the rice balls in the egg mixture to coat.Then roll the rice balls into a mixture of Cheese and Breadcrumbs to coat.Heat the oil in a pan.Fry the rice balls in the oil until golden brown on all sides. 
Once you have these,  you'll go goofy!!!  This is some good stuff...........  And the great thing is you can make them any size you want.......  If you want to pig out on them,  make them bigger, or if your on a diet, make them smaller..........

These are a no brainer to do,  but if you should have any questions, PLEASE feel free to let me know and I'll answer back ASAP.
