Recipe of Arancini

Join me and let's see how to make Arancini

Instructions:

Step 1
• In a large saucepan, sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic in a bit of olive oil until they become translucent.
Step 2
• Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and stir until the rice is well-coated with the oil and begins to turn translucent at the edges.
Step 3
• If using, pour in the white wine and let it simmer until it's mostly absorbed by the rice.
Step 4
• Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to be mostly absorbed before adding more. Continue until the rice is creamy and cooked but still slightly firm (al dente). This should take about 18-20 minutes.
Step 5
• Remove the rice from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, frozen peas (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Let it cool for about 30 minutes.
Step 6
• In a small bowl, beat the eggs.
Step 7
• Take a handful of the cooled rice mixture, flatten it in your hand, and place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center. Encase the cheese with the rice, shaping it into a ball. Repeat until you've used all the rice mixture.
Step 8
• Roll each rice ball in the beaten eggs, then coat it in breadcrumbs, ensuring it's evenly covered.
Step 9
• Heat olive oil in a deep pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Step 10
• Carefully place the arancini into the hot oil and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Fry them in batches if necessary, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 11
• Remove the arancini with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
Step 12
• Serve your homemade arancini hot and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
