How To Make italian rice balls w/ marinara sauce

  • Step 1
    Cook the rice according to directions,whisk the eggs and keep them to the side. When the rice is boiling,reserve about 1/4 cup of the hot liquid to use with two of the eggs so they do not scramble on you in the recipe for later.
  • Step 2
    When the rice is finished cooking,add in the egg and water mixture along with the spices,cheese and herbs,mix well and refrigerate for 20 minutes.Hint:If the mixture is too wet,add some bread crumb to it to tighten it up.
  • Step 3
    Roll the rice balls into one inch balls and place on a tray,heat the oil.Bread the rice balls as usual,the milk and three remaining eggs mixed then bread crumbs,fry until golden brown and serve with the sauce! Enjoy!:)
