I discovered Arancini by accident, a very boring accident. I was looking at the online menu for an organic takeaway pizza place when I noticed that they said there was going to be a change of menu in the spring, with a link to what was changing. They were adding Arancini to their menu apparently. I looked up Arancini and low, Arancini were stuffed balls of rissoto covered in breadcrumbs and deep fried.
I'm not a big fan of risotto. It's ok but if food is the same all the way through I get bored of eating it. Balls of deep fried risotto stuffed with whatever I fancy, something I could pick up with my hands and dip in things, now that sounded exciting. After the jump is a vague outline of how I made my balls, but you can make them however you want, with whatever you want, just make them because they are very tasty...
