IF you have any Mushroom Risotto left over, here is what you can do…
I just make it into Arancini…easy to do…
The light OLIVE OIL is heating up to 350…
Get your leftover Risotto… I probably had about 2 cups…
Mix in some freshly grated Parmesan Cheese… about half a cup…
Dice up some Mozzarella balls…
And form the Arancini…
By encompassing each piece of Mozzarella with the mushroomed Rice 😋
Roll it up…
Make a ball…
I make them about 1 1/2 ” big…
Drench them in Breadcrumbs…
Just some I have in house… sometimes I make my own… sometimes it might be Panko… I don’t worry too much…
Toss them into the HOT OIL…
DON’T OVERCROWD THE PAN… or the heat will drop…
Roll around until brown and golden… about 4 minutes…
To help the balls keep their shape, you can refrigerate them before frying… but I didn’t… I was in a hurry … SO SHOOT ME 😝
But they were FINE… I DARE one of my boys to question their roundness 😡 !!!
If you WANT perfect balls… set them by sticking them in the fridge for a couple of hours…
They might need a little more bread crumbling after… especially if you HAPPEN to FORGET ALL ABOUT THEM and you find them the NEXT DAY…
Just SAYIN’ 😳
Drain on kitchen paper towels…
Sprinkle with a little Salt…
Dress your Salad
Plate up and ENJOY!!!
Especially the little molten Mozzarella centre…
Love a leftover…
THATS UNRECOGNIZABLE!!!
