Ingredients
- 4 cups Risotto cold
- 8 mozzarella balls
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- oil for frying vegetable oil or sunflower oil
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Start by separating your risotto into eighths.
- Form each eighth of the risotto into one large ball. At the center of each arancini, place a small mozzarella ball. Use your hands to form the risotto into a circle shape.
- Place each arancini ball on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Mix the shredded parmesan into the panko breadcrumbs.
- Beat an egg in a small bowl.
- Remove arancini from the freezer, and roll each arancino (singular arancini) in egg, then transfer and roll in the panko bread crumbs.
- Pour the oil in a large pot or a deep fryer, and heat until it reaches 350 degrees. Fry the arancini until the outside is browned, turning as necessary to cook all sides evenly.
- Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Serve with red sauce for dipping.
