Ingredients
Arancini
1 1/4 cups cooked and chilled risotto (recipe below)
10 cubes mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup flour, seasoned with salt & pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 cups frying oil
Arrabbiata Sauce
½ jar Sacla Whole Cherry Tomato Arrabbiata sauce
Risotto
1 TBSP olive oil
1/4 cup onion, small dice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 TBSP white wine
1/2 cup arborio rice
1 cup vegetable broth
Salt & pepper
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
Method
1 Arancini: Divide the risotto into 10 balls, 2 TBSP each.
2 Keeping your hands moistened roll the risotto around each cheese cube and form a ball.
3 Roll each ball in flour, then in egg, then in the breadcrumbs. Store in refrigerator until ready to fry.
4 Put the oil into a small sauce pot over medium-high heat until simmering. Add 3 to 4 balls at a time. The oil will cover them halfway. Fry until golden brown and then turn with tongs or a slotted spoon. Once evenly golden-brown remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining balls moderating the heat as you go.
5 Arrabbiata Sauce: Cook for 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
6 Risotto: Bring the broth to a boil and as set aside off the heat. In a small saucepan heat the oil over medium high and saute the onion and garlic. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until it absorbs into the rice. Lower the heat to low and add 1/2 cup of the broth to the rice and stir until it is absorbed. Add another 1/2 cup broth, stirring until it absorbed. Continue until all the broth has been absorbed. Turn off the heat. Stir in the Parmesan. Spread the risotto on a baking sheet and cool in refrigerator for 1 hour.
