Directions
1. Mix risotto with eggs and parmesan. Take a large spoonful into your hand and work it into sort of a burger patty. Then place a bocconcini ball in the center and wrap the rice burger around to seal and for a ball. Small baseball size. Continue until all risotto is used up.

placed in fridge for a few hours or overnight.
3. To cook. In a large Dutch over or fryer heat oil (canola) to 350. Carefully drop each ball
into oil and cook until golden brown. Usually about 8-12 mins.
4. Then keep warm in oven.
5. To serve. Place a nice homemade red sauce or a pesto sauce, or both on a plate and
place Arancini over top and serve.
