How To Make pecorino arancini
-
Step 1Heat 2 quarts of water on the stove. Add the olive oil to a large skillet. Add the rice and stir it into the oil. Flatten it out and allow it to brown, allowing it to become nutty, stirring when needed to make sure it doesn't burn. Takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Step 2Add the shallot and wine, and let most of it evaporate.
-
Step 3Start to add ladles of water, letting each ladle absorb until the rice is tender with a firm bite.
-
Step 4Take off the heat and add the two cheeses and herbs. Season with salt.
-
Step 5Lay out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool completely in the fridge.
-
Step 6Roll into balls. Make about 48 balls.
-
Step 7Beat the eggs together and place them in a shallow dish. Place the Panko in another dish. Bring the oil to 350 degrees.
-
Step 8Dredge each ball into the eggs, then into the panko.
-
Step 9Deep fry in batches for about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with warm marinara.
