Yield Makes 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups leftover cooked risotto
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 Tbsp heavy cream
2 Tbsp minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, chives, oregano, or basil
1 large egg yolk
Salt and freshly ground pepper
5 oz mozzarella or Fontina cheese
All-purpose flour for dredging
Egg wash: 1 large egg whisked with 2 Tbsp cold milk or water
1 cup fresh white bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
2 cups tomato sauce

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the risotto with the Parmesan, cream, herbs, and egg yolk. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the cheese into 16 cubes. Scoop up about 3 Tbsp of the risotto mixture and pack it around a cube of cheese to make a croquette, a ball the size of a Ping-Pong ball. Repeat to form 16 croquettes.
  • Put the flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Dredge the croquettes in the flour, dip in the egg wash, and roll in the bread crumbs. Chill thoroughly, 2-24 hours.
  • Pour oil into a tall pot to a depth of 5 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it registers 375°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Deep-fry the croquettes in batches, without crowding, until they are evenly browned, 4-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer to paper towels to drain briefly. Serve on a pool of warmed tomato sauce.

These croquettes were delicious! The cheese filling was gooey and flavorful, and the tomato sauce was the perfect accompaniment. I will definitely be making these again for my next party.

I thought these croquettes were just okay. The flavor was good, but they were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more moisture to the risotto next time.

The croquettes were delicious, but the tomato sauce was a bit bland. I added some garlic and oregano to the sauce, and it was much better.

These croquettes were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.
