Arancini Siciliani Recipe

Ingredients:

• 200 gm Arborio rice
• 100 gm boiled minced lamb
• 30 gm parmesan cheese
• 2 cup bread crumbs
• 6 tablespoon flour
• refined oil as required
• 5 gm thyme
• 50 gm mozzarella
• 25 gm pine nuts
• 4 egg
• salt as required
• 5 cup vegetable broth

Recipe :

• Step 1 Cook the rice

  To prepare this enticing Italian dish, first, cook arborio rice along with the vegetable broth. Cook well for at least half an hour. Add chopped thyme and salt to the rice. Once the rice is properly cooked, spread it out on a flat plate to cool and settle it at room temperature.

• Step 2 Stuff the rice balls

  Once the rice is cool enough, add in grated parmesan cheese and mix well with the rice. Prepare small portions from this mixture. Take one portion and using your thumb create a cavity in the centre. Fill this depression with pre-cooked lamb mince, a bit of shredded mozzarella and one deshelled, roasted pine nut. Repeat the same process with all the portions.

• Step 3 Refrigerate the prepared rice balls

  Combine all the ingredients and shape in the form of balls. Make sure the stuffing is perfect. Keep the stuffed rice balls in the refrigerator for half an hour.

• Step 4 Coat the rice balls in egg wash and breadcrumbs

  Now, beat the eggs in a bowl to get egg wash. Take out the rice balls, dust them with flour and roll in the egg wash. Once done, coat the rice balls evenly with breadcrumbs.

• Step 5 Fry the rice balls and serve hot

  Next, in a pan heat 3 cups refined oil over medium flame and add in the prepared rice balls. Fry the balls till they change colour to golden. Your Arancini Siciliani is ready!
