Arancini Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Risotto

    If you haven't done so already, cook the risotto according to your preferred recipe and let it cool completely.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooled risotto, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Balls

    With your hands, take a small amount of the mixture and form it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Coat the Arancini

    In one bowl, place the flour; in another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Roll each ball first in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Arrange the coated arancini on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them lightly with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the arancini from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
