Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare your assembly line. Risotto, mozzarella, egg beaten in a bowl, flour, breadcrumbs in a bowl
- 2
Form small balls of risotto, placing a very small piece of mozzarella inside each one.
- 3
Tip: remove any large bits of filling from the outer edges (e.g. mushrooms, courgette etc.)
- 4
Roll the balls in egg, then flour, then egg again and then breadcrumbs until entirely covered
- 5
Gluten free - either get GF breadcrumbs, or just use GF flour and skip the breadcrumbs. Sonia on Cookpad used ground almonds too!
- 6
Leave to set in the fridge for at least an hour
- 7
Two options now for cooking: fry or bake. I actually prefer baking in the oven - less mess, smells, wasted oil. Also healthier. But you don’t always have an oven when you NEED arancini...
- 8
To bake - Spray or brush with oil and place in the oven at 180c for 20-30mins, turning once.
- 9
To fry - Heat up a pan with oil (deeper the better). It’s hot enough if you drop a breadcrumb in and it sizzles.
- 10
Fry in the deep oil, turning often so they are brown and crispy all over!

Easy Rice Croquettes (Arancini) Easy Rice Croquettes (Arancini)
I was enchanted by the arancini that I ate in Sicily and became a fan of it Mix some salt-boiled green peas or diced cheese into the filling to improve the taste You can use other variations of the rice as well, like ketchup rice or rice simply seasoned with parmesan cheese and salt.The meat sauce can be cold and just out of the fridge when shaping the rice balls. You can form them into bell-shapes or round balls.For best results, use fine panko. If you don't have any on hand, ground up what you have with a food processor, etc.To avoid any mistakes, use lots of oil and deep-fry the croquettes in one go. Recipe by belfy.

Pan Fried Arancini Pan Fried Arancini
I love arancini, but I don't have a deep fryer, and I don't want to waste a bunch of oil on an appetizer. Still, this little problem has been driving me crazy for years, every time I have leftover risotto, I can't help but want to make arancini. Finally, I realized this simple solution.

Dessert Arancini Dessert Arancini
Loosely based on the leftover risotto recipe from Italy, this was inspired by having lots of leftover Slow Cooker Rice Pudding, and some rather posh chocs lying around. These deep-fried rice balls, served with vanilla ice-cream are soft with crisp, and hot with cold. Mmmm.

I usually have left overs when I make pot au feu, so I thought of an easy-to-make remake lunch dish.I made this tomato flavored this time around.Be careful not to add too much spaghetti because the pasta will absorb the moisture.If you want to make a regular pasta dish without soup, add the pasta after simmering and thickening the pot au feu.
