Arancini [0000942]

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked and cooled Arborio rice
1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, diced into small cubes
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked Arborio rice, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Take a small portion of the rice mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center, then encase the cheese with the rice mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process with the remaining rice mixture and cheese cubes.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the rice balls and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the arancini from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serve the gluten-free arancini hot with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy your delicious appetizers!

These gluten-free arancini are perfect for parties and gatherings, and they are sure to impress your guests with their crispy exterior and gooey, cheesy interior.
