Ingredients
1 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, finely diced
250g (1 1/4 cups) Arborio rice
500ml chicken stock, heated
1/2 cup plain flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tbsp Maxigenes Full cream milk, premade
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
3/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
Method
Melt butter in a large saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir until well coated, then add 1 cup of stock at a time until it’s absorbed and rice is cooked. Stir in parmesan and seasonings, then leave to cool.
Place flour in a shallow bowl, egg and milk combined in another and breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Make a ball with one tablespoon of risotto, roll in the flour, egg mixture and then coat in breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 24 balls.
Heat oil in a frying pan, add the arancini balls and fry until golden brown.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and place on a serving plate to serve.
