Time 3h35m

Yield 10 to 14 arancini

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound arborio rice
2 1/2 ounces grated Parmesan
1 ounces grated pecorino
1 ounce butter, broken into small chunks
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
3 pounds chopped sirloin
Two 28-ounce cans San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes, blended
3 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
8 ounces frozen medium-sized peas, thawed
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 ounce fresh mozzarella, cut into strips
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • For the rice: Bring 12 cups water to a boil and add rice. Reduce the heat and cook until the rice is sticky (a little overdone).
  • Mix the rice with Parmesan, pecorino and butter, then cool.
  • For the sauce: Saute red onion in olive oil in a saucepan until translucent. Add sirloin and cook until browned, then add San Marzano tomatoes. Mix in oregano, sugar, salt and pepper, then bring to a boil. Turn to low heat and simmer until the meat is tender, 45 minutes.
  • Add peas with 5 minutes left in the cooking time. Cool to room temperature.
  • For the arancini: Bring several inches oil to 350 degrees F in Dutch oven.
  • Scoop out some rice mixture and use a cupped hand as a mold to pat it together. Add meat sauce in the center. Cover the sauce with small strips of the mozzarella and close the ball. Dip the arancini in the eggs and coat with panko. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Fry the arancini, turning once, until brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve with the meat sauce.

These arancini are a great way to use up leftover risotto. I always have risotto leftover after making a big batch for dinner, and these arancini are the perfect way to use it up.

I made these arancini for my Italian grandmother, and she said they were the best she'd ever had. That's high praise coming from her!

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the beef broth for vegetable broth. The arancini were still delicious!

The arancini were delicious, but they were a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would only make them for a special occasion.

These arancini were a little too oily for my taste. I think I would try using less oil next time.
