Gluten Free Arancini!

Ingredients:

Cooked, cold Risotto (see my earlier risotto recipe!)

1 cup mozzarella cheese

2-3 slices of prosciutto

2 1/2 cups gluten free bread crumbs

1/4 cup corn starch

3-4 eggs

A bowl of water

Canola oil (for frying)

Sauce! (use your favorite or homemade :) )

Directions:

1. Lay out your mozzarella and tear up the prosciutto into 1/2 inch pieces. 

2. Dip your hands into the bowl of water.  Scoop up a small ball of risotto

3. Dig your thumb intot he ball making a small dent.

4. Place a small piece of prosciutto and a small chunk of mozzarella into the hole.

5. Fold the rice over and using your hands, roll into a ball ensuring that prosciutto and cheese are inside of the rice.  (Use the water to keep the rice from sticking to your hands!)

6. Set the ball on a plate and continue until all risotto is used.

7. Heat oil (about 1 1/2 inch high in frying pan) on medium heat until hot. 
8. Scramble egg and put bread crumbs in a bowl (add seasoning if it isn't already seasoned).

9. Once the oil is hot, gently dip each ball first in the egg, then in the crumbs and drop them into the hot oil.

10. Fry the arancini for about 8-10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes or so, until golden brown. 

11. Place arancini on a plate and cover in warm sauce. 

12. Enjoy!!
