Pesto & Mozzarella Arancini – Crispy, Cheesy Italian Perfection!
The Best Arancini Recipe You’ll Ever Try! (Crispy & Cheesy)

Indulge in the rich, creamy goodness of perfectly cooked risotto, transformed into golden, crispy Pesto & Mozzarella Arancini. These Italian street-food favourites are packed with flavour—each bite reveals a molten mozzarella centre infused with vibrant basil pesto. To make prep stress-free, the risotto is prepared in two stages: par-cooked to ¾ doneness, then finished to perfection before being shaped, coated, and fried. Serve with a velvety Creamy Sundried Tomato Sauce for the ultimate indulgence!

Recipe
📌 Ingredients (Serves 2)

100g mozzarella, cubed

50g plain flour
1 egg, beaten
100g panko breadcrumbs
Oil for frying

For the Creamy Sundried Tomato Sauce:
50g sunblushed tomato

🔪 Techniques You’ll Learn:
✔️ Mastering risotto method for stress-free prep.
✔️ Creating the perfect crispy coating for arancini
✔️ Making a rich, umami-packed sundried tomato sauce

🔥 Chef’s Pro Tips:
✔️ Double coat for extra crunch! After the first coating of breadcrumbs, dip back into the egg and breadcrumbs again for an extra crispy finish.
✔️ Fry at the right temperature. Keep the oil at 180°C—too hot, and they’ll burn; too low, and they’ll absorb oil.
✔️ Make-ahead tip: Shape the arancini balls in advance—they can be rolled a day or even 2 days before and stored in the fridge. Pane (coat them in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs) a few hours before frying, then fry just before serving for the best texture and flavour.
