Ingredients Arborio rice
Mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or your favorite)OnionGarlicVegetable brothParmesan cheeseMozzarella cheeseEggsBreadcrumbsOlive oilInstructionsMake the Risotto Base1. Sauté the Aromatics: Let’s start by sweating some onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil. This is the base of our flavor.
2. Add the Rice: Toss in the Arborio rice and let it toast for a minute or two until it turns slightly translucent.
3. Build the Flavor: Time to deglaze with some white wine (or extra broth if you prefer). Let it evaporate almost completely.
4. Cook the Rice: Slowly add your vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly. Let each addition absorb before adding more.
5. Incorporate the Mushrooms: Sauté some chopped mushrooms and stir them into the creamy risotto.
6. Cheese Please: Finish it off with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese and a dollop of butter. Let it cool completely.
Shape and Coat1. Form the Arancini: Once the risotto is cold, shape it into balls. Stuff with a little mozzarella for a gooey surprise.
2. The Coating Station: Set up a little assembly line. You’ll need a bowl of flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
3. Bread It Up: Roll each arancini ball in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
Fry ‘Til Golden1. Heat the Oil: Get your favorite frying oil hot in a deep pan.
2. Fry to Perfection: Carefully lower the arancini into the hot oil and cook until golden brown and crispy.
3. Drain and Serve: Remove the arancini from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
