Prosciutto and Arancini
Prosciutto and Arancini
Directions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly until onion begins to brown.
- Add the rice, and continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Deglaze with white wine and continue cooking and stirring until the liquid has been absorbed.
- Add chicken stock to the rice (4 ounces at a time), stir constantly until the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding chicken stock (in 4 ounce batches). Once all of the chicken stock has been absorbed and the rice is tender, stir in the Prosciutto and season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from the heat, stir in Parmesan cheese. Transfer the risotto to a sheet tray and allow to cool. Once the risotto is cool, fold in the beaten egg.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg and milk. Place flour and panko bread crumbs in separate bowls and set aside.
- Roll about 2 tablespoons of the risotto into a ball. Press a piece of Bacio cheese into the center, and roll risotto around the cheese to enclose. Place on a sheet tray and repeat with remaining risotto. Working in small batches, coat the risotto balls with flour, dip into the egg mixture, then toss in panko to coat.
- Heat deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry Arancini in small batches until evenly golden brown and heated throughout. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and pepper and serve hot.
