Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c rice (riso superfine arborio)
4 eggs
1/2 c parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp parsley (we like parsley so we add more)
1 pinch salt to your desired taste
2 large garlic cloves (use 3 cloves if small)

Steps:

  • 1. Using a 4 liter pot, cover rice with water, bring to boil. Simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is soft or well cooked. Let cool until cold.
  • 2. Add 4 eggs, parmesan cheese, salt, parsley and garlic to the rice in a large bowl. Mix well - Mush it, squish it and mix all ingredients by hand.
  • 3. Mold the balls into desired shape (helps to coat your hands with oil to avoid sticking)
  • 4. Fill a deep frying pan with Mazola corn oil...enough to cover at least half of a rice ball...heat oil and carefully place the formed rice balls into the heated oil. Turn quickly, when golden brown place on plate and allow to cool.

I had some trouble getting the rice balls to stay together. I think I may have added too much water to the rice.
