Directions: |
Directions:Cook arborio rice in 4 cups water for approximately 20 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all of the water and is tender. Stir in Parmesan cheese and marinara sauce and peas, if using. When the rice is cool enough to handle, scoop out a handful and roll into a ball. Push cube of 2-year-old cheddar into the middle, making sure it is well covered with rice.
Dip the risotto balls in beaten egg, then in the bread crumbs. Fry risotto balls in olive oil in a medium size frypan on medium heat until crisp and golden on all sides. You can also BBQ on top rack of grill or bake in 375ºF preheated oven for about 1/2 hour or drop into a deep fryer heated to 350ºF oil for 2-3 minutes. |
