Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Rice

In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add Arborio rice and salt, reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Mix the Filling

Once the rice has cooled, mix in the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and egg. Combine until well mixed.

Form the Balls

Wet your hands and take a small portion of the rice mixture. Flatten it in your palm, add a small piece of mozzarella in the center, and shape it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Coat the Arancini

Set up a breading station with flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Roll each rice ball in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.

Fry the Arancini

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

Serve

Serve hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
