Share

Today I used some leftover rice and prepared rice balls/arancini. Even the original recipe indicate the use of risotto, these beauties are equal delicious✨

200 g leftover rice

60 g Parmesan, grated

150 g mini mozzarella

2 eggs

100 g all purpose flour

100 g panko

Chili flakes

Salt & pepper, to taste

100 ml vegetable oil, for frying

Salad leaves/microgreens

In a bowl, mix the rice, Parmesan, 1 egg and season.

Form each sphere by taking a some rice, then adding a piece of mozzarella and enclosing the filling completely. Repeat the same with the rest of the rice mixture.

Heat the oil in a pan.

Prepare 3 bowls with: flour, remaining egg (beaten) and panko. Roll each sphere in the flour, then egg then the panko.

Fry the arancini until the panko is golden.

Serve with salad or microgreens.

Enjoy!
