Ingredients

  • 5 cups Chicken Stock or Broth
  • 2 cups Arborio Rice
  • 1/4 pound cooked Tuscan Sausage casings removed, crumbled
  • 1 1/4 cups Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
  • 3 Eggs lightly beaten, divided use
  • Kosher Salt to taste
  • 3/4 cup cubed Fontina Cheese
  • 2 cups Breadcrumbs
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Olive Oil or other Vegetable Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Pour chicken stock into a deep saucepan. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Add rice and cook until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 14 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from the heat. Add sausage and cheese. Stir to mix.
  • When cooled slightly, stir in one egg.
  • Turn mixture out onto a plate and set aside to cool.
  • In a bowl, beat remaining eggs with a pinch of salt.
  • Using a tablespoon, form the rice mixture into balls about the size of walnuts.
  • Press a cube of Fontina cheese into the center of each one, closing the mixture around it.
  • Roll each ball in the beaten egg, to coat.
  • Then roll in bread crumbs until coated evenly. Place finished balls on a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Heat oil in a deep heavy pan to 350°F.
  • Carefully place balls, a few at a time, into the oil and deep fry until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-covered plate to drain. Repeat until all arancini are cooked.
  • Serve hot with Marinara Sauce.
