Method
Preparing the Farro
- 1
Cook the Farro
In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the farro and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the farro is tender but still chewy. Drain any excess liquid and let cool.

Form Balls
With wet hands, take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Coat the Balls
Set up a breading station with flour, an egg wash (whisked eggs), and breadcrumbs. Dip each ball first in the flour, then in the egg wash, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Place the breaded balls back on the baking sheet.
Frying the Arancini

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Balls
Carefully add a few arancini balls to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
