Time 2h15m

Yield 30 balls

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups vegetable stock
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus 1/2 cup for garnish
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1 cup half-and-half
5 cups panko bread crumbs
4 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the risotto: Heat the vegetable stock in a pot next to the risotto pot. Keep a ladle in it to use.
  • Saute the onion in the olive oil until wilted, add in the garlic and cook for another minute or so. Add in the Arborio rice and saute for a few minutes. Add in just enough stock to cover the rice and stir frequently.
  • As the rice absorbs the stock add the remainder of the stock and let the risotto cook through. (16 to 20 minutes). If it is not tender add some hot water until the risotto is tender.
  • When cooked through add in the lemon juice, lemon peel, Parmesan, mozzarella and half-and-half. Mix thoroughly. Let it cool for 1 hour or so.
  • To fry the balls: Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a large pot. Place the panko bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Using a small spoon or small ice cream scooper form the risotto into 1-inch balls and roll them in the bread crumbs. Set aside until complete. Place a few balls in the hot oil at a time. Cook the balls for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain them on paper towels. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.

I thought these risotto balls were just okay. The flavor was good, but the texture was a bit too mushy for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if the rice had been cooked a little less.

These risotto balls were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more lemon and Parmesan. The coating was also a bit too thick for my liking.
