METHOD

  • Strain the risottos in a sieve over a bowl, shake and stir a few times to get as much of the liquid out as possible.
  • Retain the liquid to make a sauce.
  • Mix the 30-50g of breadcrumbs with the risotto, Parmesan and chopped herbs to form a sticky dry consistency.
  • Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Encase a piece of mozzarella into each to form a ball and then coat with flour, beaten egg and then breadcrumbs (like a scotch egg).
  • Fry the arancini in oil until golden all round and then place in an oven for about 10-15 minutes to get piping hot through.


While the arancini are in the oven make the sauce.

  • Heat the retained liquid from the risotto with a glug of cream and whisk in the Parmesan cheese. 
  • Let it bubble and thicken slightly to a light coating consistency.

Serve the arancini on warm plates with a couple of spoonful's of the sauce a crisp green salad.
