Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover butternut squash risotto (click on the link "leftover butternut squash risotto" for the recipe on how to make roasted butternut squash risotto)
- 1 mozzarella ball, cut into cubes
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- enough vegetable oil for deep frying the arancini
Instructions
- Have 3 bowls ready to prepare the arancini: one with flour, one with beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Use your hands to shape the risotto into balls, coat them with the egg mixture, then coat in breadcrumbs.
- Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes, then deep-fry.
- Dip the ball into flour, shaking off the excess flour, then dip into egg to coat well, then breadcrumbs.
- Repeat with the rest of the rice.
- Heat up the oil into a deep pan, and add the arancini in batches - fry until golden.
- Remove the balls from the pan and transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.
- Serve warm or cold.
