Time 1h30m

Yield 36 balls, 12 of each color

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 shallot, chopped
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup dry white wine
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup prepared pesto
1/2 cup jarred marinara sauce
Vegetable oil, for frying
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Jarred marinara sauce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • For the arancini: Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, butter and shallot and cook until the shallot is soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and toast, stirring often to coat the rice in the flavored oil, for 2 more minutes. Season with the salt. Deglaze with the white wine and cook, stirring often, until almost entirely absorbed. Add a cup of the broth and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is nearly absorbed. Continue to cook until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy, adding more broth by the cup and stirring often, about 35 minutes total.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Pour one-third of the risotto into a separate bowl and one-third into another bowl so you have 3 separate bases. To the risotto in one of the bowls, stir in the pesto. To the risotto in the pot, stir in the marinara. Refrigerate until completely cool.
  • For the breading and serving: In a Dutch oven, heat 4 inches of oil to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Set up a breading station by placing the flour in one bowl, the eggs in another bowl and the breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Using a 1-ounce scoop, form the risotto into 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll them in the flour first, followed by the eggs and finishing with the breadcrumbs. Fry the arancini until golden brown and warmed through, about 3 minutes. Serve with marinara on the side for dipping, if desired.

I followed the recipe exactly and found the arancini to be slightly dry.

These arancini were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have been better off frying them in less oil.

I was disappointed with these arancini. The filling was bland and the crispy coating was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think I would have been better off using a different recipe.

The arancini were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it! The flavors were amazing and the crispy coating was perfect. I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were a hit with my guests.

These arancini were easy to make and turned out delicious! I used a store-bought risotto mix to save time, and they still came out great. The filling was flavorful and the crispy coating was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the arancini turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The filling was flavorful and the colors of the rice were vibrant. I served them with a simple tomato sauce and they were a hit

These arancini were a delightful surprise! The combination of the three different colors of rice was visually appealing, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The filling was savory and flavorful, and the crispy coating added a nice textural contr
