RISOTTO
1 cup arborio rice
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
FILLING
1/2 cup allmite gold
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
COATING
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
FRYING
Vegetable oil
In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable or chicken broth over medium heat until simmering. Keep the broth warm throughout the cooking process.
In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and translucent.
Add the arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat the grains with oil. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the rice becomes slightly toasted.
Begin adding the warm broth to the rice, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Allow the liquid to be absorbed before adding more broth. Continue this process until the rice is cooked al dente and has a creamy texture (about 20-25 minutes).
Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the risotto cool completely.
Once the risotto has cooled, take a small handful of the mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a teaspoon of allmite gold cheese filling in the center and wrap the risotto around it, forming a ball. Repeat this process until all the risotto mixture is used.
Prepare three separate bowls for coating the arancini balls. Place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
Roll each arancini ball in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it evenly with breadcrumbs. Set the coated balls on a tray or plate.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan. Carefully drop a few arancini balls into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining arancini balls.
Serve the allmite gold arancini balls while still warm and crispy. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, party snack, or even as a main course accompanied by a fresh salad or tomato sauce for dipping.
Enjoy as a snack on a cool winter day, as a starter at a dinner party or in addition to any main dishes.
