I made this recipe extra easy by saving leftover risotto from my previous post.
I've never tried making Arancini before so I was excited to get started.
Ingredients:
200g risotto Milanese
3 tablespoons frozen peas
3 tablespoons diced ham
3 tablespoons grated parmesan
2 eggs
3 tablespoons flour
6 tablespoons breadcrumbs
oil for frying
Stir the peas, ham, parmesan and 1 egg into the risotto.
Place three bowls on your kitchen counter and put the second egg (whisked), flour and breadcrumbs in a bowl each.
Roll up a tablespoon of the risotto mixture in your hand until it forms a ball. Then coat in flour then egg then breadcrumbs. Repeat until you have used all the mixture.
Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan and when it gets hot, shallow fry the arancini until golden brown on all sides.
When they are all done, serve with some warmed marinara sauce for dipping.
These were really delicious! Lovely dipped in marinara sauce but also tasty on their own. The parmesan had melted inside to give a nice cheesy bite. We really enjoyed them and were sorry when we'd eaten them all. Well worth the effort of making the risotto. I might always save some leftover risotto to use this way from now on. Perfect!
