When I was in Rome this past summer, there was arenchini everywhere. They’re basically fried delicious balls of risoto that are so crunchy, creamy, and delicious. Here’s how you make it. First, you’re going to start by making risoto. If you’ve known me risoto before, I have a full recipe on my website and video tutorial of how to do it. It’s super easy. So, make the risoto once it’s finished cooking. You’re going to lie it flat on a parchment line sheet tray and then refrigerate that for about 2 hours. This solidifies it and then you can cut it into small pieces and then pick up those pieces and stuff it with whatever you want. I like mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, salami, and then form that ball. Then we’re going to coat it in flour, egg wash, and then panko breadrumbs. I use gluten-free of all of these things, but you can use normal if you want to. Heat oil to 350° and drop them balls in. Make sure it stays around 350 the whole time on medium heat. And then after 6 minutes, pull it out. You’ll have crispy but fluffy and cheesy on the inside aranchchini.

  1. I don't know who taught you to make risotto, but based on decades of watching cooking shows, you aren't making it correctly. This is the first time that I have ever seen risotto that looked like something that I would want to eat. What you did after that, is, as far as I'm concerned, also, a very good thing. Thanks for the video. (I'm also on board with @jameshay4589, that Dutch oven IS too stinkin' cute for words.)

  2. This woman is pretty, smart and a great cook. Her boyfriend is probably on cloud nine with her. If you ever a woman like her, hang on to her with both hands. They They are very hard to come by. 😊
