Time 3h35m

Yield 10 to 14 arancini

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound arborio rice
2 1/2 ounces grated Parmesan
1 ounces grated pecorino
1 ounce butter, broken into small chunks
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
3 pounds chopped sirloin
Two 28-ounce cans San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes, blended
3 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
8 ounces frozen medium-sized peas, thawed
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 ounce fresh mozzarella, cut into strips
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • For the rice: Bring 12 cups water to a boil and add rice. Reduce the heat and cook until the rice is sticky (a little overdone).
  • Mix the rice with Parmesan, pecorino and butter, then cool.
  • For the sauce: Saute red onion in olive oil in a saucepan until translucent. Add sirloin and cook until browned, then add San Marzano tomatoes. Mix in oregano, sugar, salt and pepper, then bring to a boil. Turn to low heat and simmer until the meat is tender, 45 minutes.
  • Add peas with 5 minutes left in the cooking time. Cool to room temperature.
  • For the arancini: Bring several inches oil to 350 degrees F in Dutch oven.
  • Scoop out some rice mixture and use a cupped hand as a mold to pat it together. Add meat sauce in the center. Cover the sauce with small strips of the mozzarella and close the ball. Dip the arancini in the eggs and coat with panko. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Fry the arancini, turning once, until brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve with the meat sauce.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out perfectly. The arancini are always crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I highly recommend this recipe.

I had some trouble finding the right type of rice for this recipe. I ended up using arborio rice, but I'm not sure if that was the right choice.

These arancini were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I will use less chili pepper next time I make them.

I had some trouble getting the arancini to stay together. I think I overcooked the risotto. Next time I will cook it for a shorter amount of time.

These arancini were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will reduce the amount of salt next time I make them.

These arancini were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The risotto was creamy and flavorful, and the breadcrumbs gave the arancini a nice crispy coating. I served them with a simple tomato sauce and they were a hi
