This is a delightful Italian dish that I have recently been introduced to. They are so good to serve as an appetizer. Here;s a tip- I used the 90 second cook in your microwave rice and it worked well because it's very sticky! To make these little wonders you will need:
2 cups cooked white rice, cooled
½ cup grated Parmesan
3 eggs, separated
8 small cubes fresh mozzarella
1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
oil, for frying
1 cup marinara sauce (bought or homemade)
1.) Place a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add four inches of oil.
2.) Combine the rice, Parmesan and 1 egg in a medium bowl and use your hands to thoroughly combine the mixture.
3.) Form each arancini by taking a small portion of the mixture, squeezing it firmly and stuffing one cube of mozzarella inside each ball. Repeat this process to form 8 arancini.
4.) Whisk together the remaining 2 eggs. Dip each arancini in the eggs and then in the breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess.
5.) Once the oil reaches 375ºF, add 2 or 3 of the breaded arancini to the pot and fry them until golden brown and cooked throughout.
6.) Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried arancini from the pot and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately salt the arancini. Serve with the marinara sauce.
