Ingredients
- 40grams Italissima Provolone Piccante
- 50ml Italissima Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 Onion, Finely Chopped
- 200grams Italissima Arborio Rice
- 750ml Hot Chicken Stock
- 1tbsp Finely Chopped Thyme
- 30grams Butter, Coarsely Chopped
- Plain Flour
- 2 Eggs, Lightly Beaten
- 250grams Fine soft white breadcrumbs, for coating
- Mediterranean Gourmet Sunflower oil for Frying
- Baby basil leaves and aioli to Serve
Instructions
- Heat oil in a saucepan over low heat, add onion, stir occasionally until tender (3-5 minutes), add rice, stir to coat, then add stock, little by little, until rice is slightly overcooked and stock is absorbed (18 -20 minutes). Add thyme and butter and stir until creamy (1-2 minutes), remove from heat. Meanwhile, finely grate 15 g provolone, add to rice mixture, spread over a tray and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to chill (1-1½ hours).
- Cut remaining provolone into 5 mm cubes and set aside. Shape walnut-sized balls of rice mixture with your hands, then push a provolone cube into centre of each, pressing rice around to enclose completely. Roll rice balls in flour, then beaten egg and finally breadcrumbs, shaking off excess in between, ensuring they are completely coated. Refrigerate on a tray to chill (30 minutes).
- Preheat oil in a deep saucepan or deep-fryer to 200C. Deep-fry arancini in batches, turning occasionally, until golden (3 -5 minutes; be careful as hot oil may spit). Scatter with baby basil and serve hot with aioli.
