Method

Cooking Instructions

Cook the Risotto

In a saucepan, bring chicken broth to a simmer. In a separate pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed. Repeat until rice is creamy and tender, about 20 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

In a skillet, cook Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly, then mix with cooked risotto, Asiago, and Fontina cheese. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Form the Balls

Once the mixture is chilled, take a small amount in your hands and form it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is formed into balls.

Bread the Arancini

Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Roll each ball in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Fry the Arancini

In a deep pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the arancini in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve

Serve the arancini hot with spicy marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
