Yield Makes about 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 1/4 cups (8 to 9 ounces) arborio rice
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 large eggs
All purpose flour
2 cups finely ground fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless Italian or French bread
2/3 cup finely diced whole-milk mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped prosciutto
Vegetable oil (for deep-frying)

Steps:

  • Bring broth to boil in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat and cover. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and sauté 4 minutes. Add rice; stir 1 minute. Add wine and stir until absorbed, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup broth and simmer until liquid is absorbed, stirring often. Cook until rice is just tender and risotto is creamy, adding broth 1/2 cup at at time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding next, about 25 minutes. Mix in Parmesan. Season risotto with salt and pepper. Cool completely. Mix in 1 egg. Cover and chill.
  • Place some flour in 1 bowl; place remaining egg in another bowl and beat to blend. Place breadcrumbs in third bowl. Using moistened hands, shape 1/4 cup (packed) cold risotto into ball. Poke hole in center. Fill with 1 rounded teaspoon mozzarella and 1 teaspoon prosciutto. Press risotto over filling. Coat rice balls in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Place on rack to dry. Repeat with remaining risotto, filling and coating. Let rice balls stand at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Pour 1 1/2 inches oil into heavy medium pot. Attach deep-fry thermometer and heat oil to 360°F. Fry balls, 3 at a time, until golden and crusty, turning once, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Overall, these croquettes were good, but not great. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

These croquettes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less oil next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my croquettes didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked them.

These croquettes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more cheese next time, or maybe some chopped vegetables.

I've made these croquettes several times now, and they always turn out great. I like to serve them with a marinara sauce or a pesto sauce. They're also great for a party appetizer.

These croquettes were easy to make and they turned out perfectly. I used arborio rice, which is a short-grain rice that is used in risotto. I also used chicken stock instead of vegetable stock, which gave them a more flavorful taste.

I made these croquettes for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. I used a combination of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, and I also added a bit of chopped basil. They were so good that I ate two of them myself!

These risotto croquettes were absolutely delicious! The mozzarella and prosciutto were a great combination, and the bread crumbs gave them a nice crispy coating. I will definitely be making these again.
