Tip

This is one of the best ways you can use any left over Thermomix risotto. It doesnt matter what flavour risotto you have, just add your favourite cheese...or whats in the fridge..into the middle and you are set!

 

1.  You can add to your risotto eg left over BBQ chicken.

2. You can add parmesan cheese or herbs to your crumbs for extra flavour.

3. As far as quantity goes...it really depends how much you have left over and how big you make the balls. 1 quantity of EDC risotto will make about 40 tbsp size balls.

The arancini balls in the picture were made with EDC mushroom risotto with haloumi cheese in the middle and a panko crumb. They were YUMMM.

    I used some left over risotto, added some left over savoury beef, followed the recipe to a T.
    I think we enjoyed them even more than the risotto. I cooked them 10 minutes in my air fryer.

    Very easy to make and a good idea so as to not waste leftover risotto. I used leftover mushroom risotto from the basic cook book and also put parmesan in the breadcrumbs.  Definitely will put that in again, gave the coating an extra boost of flavour. Thanks for your recipe!

  • A great way to use up left

    Submitted by AmyZC on 3. April 2016 - 12:25.

    A great way to use up left over risotto! Don't make the balls too big, otherwise the cheese won't melt by the time the outside is brown!

    my family and I love these. I am going to try a quinoa version today and when looking at your recipe, noticed I had not commented. a bit ridiculous on my part as I have made them many times following your exact recipe or with many different ingredients and they are always fab! This recipe is great as I can use up whatever cheese / meat / herbs I have. Thanks for posting. A 5-star recipe for sure.

  • I have made these a few times

    Submitted by Penelrem on 17. November 2014 - 11:48.

    I have made these a few times now...

    Prather than put cheese in middle of balls, I added extra to the rissoto mix after it had cooked, so it melted theough the rice mixture... 

     So easy once you get the hang of it.. And everyone loves them.

     They freeze well after frying...

    I haven't tried freezing the balls before coating. Good idea though!

  • This method works

    Submitted by Bronze Sunflower on 22. October 2013 - 00:03.

    This method works brilliantly, my risotto was already cold so I skipped the fridge step and they still held together well.

     

    Thanks for a great idea on how to use up my extra risotto.

     

    I'm going to try freezing uncoated balls to use later. Have you ever tried this?
