Ingredients

Italian Risotto Balls

  • 4 cups water

  • 1 and 3/4 cups arborio rice

  • 4 ounces Mehadrin Butter

  • 1 cube frozen garlic

  • 2 teaspoons salt

Breading

  • 1/2 cup flour

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

  • marinara sauce

  • grated parmesan

  • micro greens, for garnish

Directions

1.

Add the water and arborio rice to a large saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

2.

Cook for 20 minutes and continue to stir until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Add the butter, garlic, and salt. Mix to combine.

3.

Whisk the eggs. Add a small amount of the hot rice to the whisked eggs and stir. The eggs should be warmed slowly so that they don’t scramble.

4.

Add the tempered eggs, ricotta, and shredded mozzarella to the rice and mix to combine.

5.

Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the mixture onto a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until completely cool.

6.

Place the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs into separate bowls. Roll each rice mixture scoop into a ball, coat first in flour, then in egg, and roll into the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the egg and breadcrumbs and set aside.

7.

Heat one and a half inches oil over medium-high heat.

8.

Carefully add a few rice balls to the pot. Fry until golden on all sides. Repeat with the remaining rice balls. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cooling rack to drain.

9.

Serve with marinara sauce and top with grated parmesan and microgreens for garnish.
