Golden Risotto Arancini with Marinara

4.5 from 63 cooks

Leftover risotto gets rolled around melted mozzarella, breaded and fried until deeply golden, then served with warm marinara for dipping.

Arancini started as a way Sicilian cooks used up risotto from the night before, pressing it around a cube of cheese and frying it until the outside turns deeply golden. Chilling the risotto first is the real secret, since cold rice holds its shape far better than warm rice when you are forming the balls. A bowl of warm marinara on the side ties the whole plate together.
