Yield Makes 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups leftover cooked risotto
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 Tbsp heavy cream
2 Tbsp minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, chives, oregano, or basil
1 large egg yolk
Salt and freshly ground pepper
5 oz mozzarella or Fontina cheese
All-purpose flour for dredging
Egg wash: 1 large egg whisked with 2 Tbsp cold milk or water
1 cup fresh white bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
2 cups tomato sauce

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the risotto with the Parmesan, cream, herbs, and egg yolk. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the cheese into 16 cubes. Scoop up about 3 Tbsp of the risotto mixture and pack it around a cube of cheese to make a croquette, a ball the size of a Ping-Pong ball. Repeat to form 16 croquettes.
  • Put the flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Dredge the croquettes in the flour, dip in the egg wash, and roll in the bread crumbs. Chill thoroughly, 2-24 hours.
  • Pour oil into a tall pot to a depth of 5 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it registers 375°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Deep-fry the croquettes in batches, without crowding, until they are evenly browned, 4-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer to paper towels to drain briefly. Serve on a pool of warmed tomato sauce.

From Cooking at Home by The Culinary Institute of America: "Known as arancini, or "little oranges," in Italian, these little balls, with their surprise melted cheese filling, are an excellent way to turn leftover risotto into a delectable hors d'oeuvre. They're so good, you might be inspired to make a batch of risotto just to enjoy in this form."

RISOTTO CROQUETTES: ARANCINI DI RISO



Risotto Croquettes: Arancini Di Riso image

Provided by Food Network

Time 14h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 white onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 cup arborio rice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup, plus 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
3 eggs
Handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped ham
1/2 cup chopped fresh mozzarella cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
Bread crumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Bring your vegetable broth to a simmer.

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat, add the onion and celery and saute until tender and soft. Stir in the rice and season with salt and pepper and continue to cook for 1 minute. Add wine and stir until almost all liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add a ladleful of the hot broth and cook, stirring, until it has been absorbed. Continue adding the broth, a ladle at the time, and stirring until each addition has been absorbed. This will take about 20 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Allow to cool and then put in the refrigerator, covered, overnight.
  • Separate 1 egg and reserve the yolk.
  • In a big mixing bowl, add the cold risotto, egg yolk, remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan, ham, mozzarella cheese, and parsley. Stir well, using a wooden spoon, until all the ingredients are well mixed.
  • Whisk two eggs in a medium bowl.
  • Place the flour in a plate or small bowl and the bread crumbs in a separate plate or small bowl.
  • Roll, roll, roll your risotto into balls.
  • One-by-one, gently roll each ball into the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and then roll it into the breadcrumbs. By doing this you will create a nice crust on the outside of the croquettes, it will help maintain its round shape while cooking, but it will also keep the warmth inside for a while after they are cooked.
  • Heat up about 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil in a high-sided skillet.
  • When the oil is hot, start frying the croquettes. Try to remember the order in which you put them into the pan, the first one into the hot oil should be the first one to be turned over, and then the first one to come out. Keep it in mind as you cook!
  • The process is fairly quick, turn the croquettes a few times to make sure they are evenly cooked, and do not worry if some mozzarella cheese spills out. When it happens, if it happens, there is nothing you can do about it, and the dish won't be affected in any way.
  • Remove the risotto balls to paper towel-lined plates.

TOMATO RISOTTO



Tomato Risotto image

Once you master the risotto technique, you can make flavorful versions throughout the year. This summery version is based on red, ripe tomatoes from the garden, but if you want to up the tomato quotient, surround the finished dish with slices of multicolored heirloom varieties. Best as a first course or vegetarian main course, it could also pair with a main course - grilled fish, for instance.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups diced ripe red tomatoes
3 cups boiling water or vegetable broth
1/2 cup grated pecorino or Parmesan, plus more for serving
4 medium tomatoes, in different colors, sliced
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Snipped basil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the onion, and season generously with salt. Add pepper to taste, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and cook the onions, stirring, until the onions are barely brown, about 2 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes, garlic, white wine and diced tomatoes, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes more.
  • Add 2 cups boiling water and adjust the heat to a brisk simmer. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring well with a wooden spoon every minute or so.
  • When the liquid is absorbed, add remaining 1 cup water and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the rice is cooked, but the grains are still firm. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding another splash of water if necessary to loosen the mixture. Turn off the heat, stir in the pecorino and 2 more tablespoons olive oil.
  • Transfer to a low, wide serving bowl. Surround the rice with tomato slices and season them with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and basil. Pass more grated cheese at the table.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your croquettes.
  • Don't overcook the risotto. The risotto should be cooked through but still have a slight al dente bite to it.
  • Let the risotto cool completely before shaping the croquettes. This will help them hold their shape better.
  • Use a light touch when shaping the croquettes. Overworking the risotto will make the croquettes tough.
  • Fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. This will help them stay crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
  • Make sure the tomato sauce is simmered for at least 30 minutes. This will help develop the flavor of the sauce.
  • Serve the croquettes with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a side of tomato sauce.

Conclusion:

These cheese-filled risotto croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and can be made ahead of time. With their crispy outer layer and creamy, cheesy interior, these croquettes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
