RICE ARANCINI RECIPE

Don't throw away leftover rice . It happens often, and it's a real shame: nothing is easier to recycle and reuse, creating new dishes and delicacies. This is the case with these recipes for stringy arancini , where the flavor and qualities of rice are combined with the pleasure and benefits of tuna and oregano.

INGREDIENTS (for 4 people)

300 g of rice
1 onion
1 liter of broth
40 gr of olive oil
200 grams of mozzarella
1 160g can of tuna in olive oil
2 eggs
150 g of tomato pulp
A pinch of oregano
Fry oil
Flour to taste
Breadcrumbs to taste
Sale

Preparation

Chop the onion, brown it in a pan with olive oil, add 100 g of tomato pulp and the oregano.
Add the rice, let it flavor, dilute little by little with the broth and cook, stirring often so as to obtain a fairly dry risotto.
Remove the rice from the heat, stir in a whole egg, pour the rice onto a cutting board and let it cool.
Drain the tuna a little, put it in a bowl, add the mozzarella cheese diced tomatoes and the remaining tomato pulp.
Place a generous spoonful of cold rice in the palm of your hand, add a little tuna and mozzarella filling and shape it into a round ball so that the filling remains inside.
Repeat the operation until you run out of ingredients.
Beat the remaining egg with a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Pass the arancini through the flour, then in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, fry in plenty of oil until golden and crispy.
Place them on paper towels to drain excess oil and serve the arancini hot.
