Arancini
(Rice Balls) with Marinara Sauce
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked
white rice, cooled
½ cup grated
Parmesan cheese
3 eggs,
separated
8 small cubes
fresh mozzarella
1 cup
Italian-style breadcrumbs
Oil, for
frying
1 cup
store-bought or homemade marinara sauce
Directions:
Place a large
heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to rise 4
inches in the pot.
Combine the
rice, Parmesan and 1 egg in a medium bowl and use your hands to thoroughly
combine the mixture.
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.
Whisk
together the remaining 2 eggs.
Dip each
arancini in the eggs and then in the breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess.
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.
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.
Repeat the
frying process with the remaining arancini.
Serve the
arancini warm with a side of warm marinara sauce.
