ARANCINI DI RISO

Steps:

• Pour enough oil in a heavy large saucepan to reach the depth of 3 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Stir the eggs, risotto, Parmesan, and 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs in a large bowl to combine. Place the remaining breadcrumbs in a medium bowl. Using about 2 tablespoons of the risotto mixture for each, form the risotto mixture into 1 3/4-inch-diameter balls. Insert 1 cube of mozzarella into the center of each ball. Roll the balls in the bread crumbs to coat.
• Working in batches, add the rice balls to the hot ail and cook until brown and heated through, turning them as necessary, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the rice balls to paper towels to drain. Season with salt. Let rest 2 minutes. Serve hot.
• Bring the broth to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan. Add the porcini mushrooms. Set aside until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Keep the broth warm over very low heat.
• Melt the butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add olive oil. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the white mushrooms and garlic. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the porcini mushrooms to a cutting board. Finely chop the mushrooms and add to the saucepan. Saute until the mushrooms are tender and the juices evaporate, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice and let it toast for a few minutes. Add the wine; cook until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of hot broth; simmer over medium-low heat until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy, adding more broth by cupfuls and stirring often, about 28 minutes (the rice will absorb 6 to 8 cups of broth). Stir in the peas. Mix in the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

RISOTTO CROQUETTES: ARANCINI DI RISO

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat, add the onion and celery and saute until tender and soft. Stir in the rice and season with salt and pepper and continue to cook for 1 minute. Add wine and stir until almost all liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add a ladleful of the hot broth and cook, stirring, until it has been absorbed. Continue adding the broth, a ladle at the time, and stirring until each addition has been absorbed. This will take about 20 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Allow to cool and then put in the refrigerator, covered, overnight.
• Separate 1 egg and reserve the yolk.
• In a big mixing bowl, add the cold risotto, egg yolk, remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan, ham, mozzarella cheese, and parsley. Stir well, using a wooden spoon, until all the ingredients are well mixed.
• Whisk two eggs in a medium bowl.
• Place the flour in a plate or small bowl and the bread crumbs in a separate plate or small bowl.
• Roll, roll, roll your risotto into balls.
• One-by-one, gently roll each ball into the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and then roll it into the breadcrumbs. By doing this you will create a nice crust on the outside of the croquettes, it will help maintain its round shape while cooking, but it will also keep the warmth inside for a while after they are cooked.
• Heat up about 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil in a high-sided skillet.
• When the oil is hot, start frying the croquettes. Try to remember the order in which you put them into the pan, the first one into the hot oil should be the first one to be turned over, and then the first one to come out. Keep it in mind as you cook!
• The process is fairly quick, turn the croquettes a few times to make sure they are evenly cooked, and do not worry if some mozzarella cheese spills out. When it happens, if it happens, there is nothing you can do about it, and the dish won't be affected in any way.
• Remove the risotto balls to paper towel-lined plates.

RICE CROQUETTES (SUPPLI' DI RISO)

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter in saucepan. Add rice and brown for a few minutes over high heat. 2. Meanwhile, bring stock to boil in another saucepan. Add it to the rice a little at a time over medium-low heat. At the end of 15 minutes of cooking, the rice should be very dry. Add the parmesan, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and turn rice out onto a board to cool. 3. When the rice is cold, thoroughly mix in the egg yolk. Form into balls the size of an egg. (Note: Don't make them bigger than an egg. If they are too big, the outside of the croquettes will brown too much because they need to be cooked longer inside.) Push a hole into the center of each, put in a cube of the mozzarella and the pancetta and close the rice mixture over it. Roll each ball in beaten egg and coat with the breadcrumbs. 4. Heat the oil in a deep fryer until just before smoking. Fry the croquettes until golden brown. Drain well on paper towels. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
