Yield Makes 4 light lunch or dinner servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups chilled mushroom risotto
12 (1/2-inch) cubes mozzarella (about 1 oz total)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs (not seasoned)
About 8 cups vegetable oil for frying
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Roll chilled risotto into 12 (1 1/2-inch) balls using wet hands. Poke a small hole in center of each ball and insert a cube of cheese, then re-form into a ball.
  • Put flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Dredge 1 risotto ball in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, letting excess drip off, then dredge in bread crumbs and transfer to a sheet of wax paper. Repeat with remaining balls.
  • Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot until thermometer registers 360°F. Working in batches of 4, lower rice balls into oil with a slotted spoon and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 360°F between batches. 3Let balls stand 2 minutes (for cheese to melt).

These rice balls were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them.

I'm not a big fan of fried food, but these rice balls were surprisingly light and fluffy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice balls didn't turn out crispy at all.

The filling was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add more sauce next time.

The rice balls were too greasy for my liking. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

The rice balls were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

Absolutely delicious! The rice balls were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the filling was flavorful and savory. I will definitely be making this again.
