1

Prepare the Rice

In a pot, cook Arborio rice according to package instructions until creamy. Allow it to cool.

Sauté Vegetables

In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and mushrooms, sauté until softened. Let it cool.

Form Arancini

With wet hands, take a portion of the mixture and form it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Coat the Balls

Roll each ball in breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Fry Arancini

In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the arancini in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
