Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups arborio rice
- 600ml vegetable stock
- 100g freshly grated parmesan
- salt and pepper
- 12 bocconcini bambini (small size)
- ¼ cup plain flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup fine breadcrumbs
- rice bran oil, for deep frying
Method
Place rice and stock in rice cooker or saucepan and cook until ready, about 12 minutes.
Mix in parmesan and season well with salt and pepper.
Cut bocconcini in half.
Wet your hands, then take a walnut-sized portion of rice in the palm of your hand. Roll into a ball and push a piece of bocconcini into the middle, ensuring the cheese is completely enclosed by the rice. Place on a lightly floured tray. Repeat until all the rice is used.
Roll the rice balls in flour, then dip in egg wash and coat in breadcrumbs.
Deep fry in oil until lightly browned.
Serve immediately.
