Steps to cook
-
Prepare the ingredients. Prepare all the ingredients - we will start cooking with them in a moment 🍚✨
-
Cook and chill the risotto (if you do not have any from yesterday). For arancini, it is best to use leftover risotto from the previous day, or prepare fresh - briefly saute the rice in a dry pan over medium heat, pour in the wine and let it evaporate, then gradually add hot stock and cook, stirring constantly, for about 10-15 minutes until the rice softens, then spread it on a baking tray and let it cool in the refrigerator
-
Heat the oil. Prepare a pot with oil (sunflower or rapeseed) and heat it to about 140 C (over medium heat for a few minutes)
-
Shape the balls. Shape larger balls of about 70 g from the cooled rice
-
Make indentations. Make an indentation in each ball
-
Cut the filling. Cut the mozzarella and ham into small cubes
-
Fill the arancini. Fill the balls with mozzarella and ham and shape them firmly again
-
Coat the balls. Coat the balls in a classic breading - first in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in breadcrumbs
-
Fry the arancini. Place the arancini in the heated oil and fry over medium heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes
-
Serve. Let drain on a paper towel and serve, optionally with a slice of lemon or mayonnaise; the leftover risotto can be served on its own 🍚🍽️✨
