Wild Mushroom Arancini Recipe
Wild Mushroom Arancini are bite-sized balls of creamy risotto, enriched with the earthy flavours of assorted wild mushrooms, coated in a crispy breadcrumb shell, and deep-fried to golden perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup risotto rice
- ½ cup white wine
- 2 cups hot vegetable stock
- 1 cup wild mushrooms, finely chopped
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs
- ½ cup plain flour (or gluten free flour)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or gluten free crumbs)
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it becomes translucent.
- Add the risotto rice to the pan and stir until the grains are coated in the butter.
- Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until the liquid has almost completely evaporated.
- Gradually add the hot vegetable stock, a ladle at a time, stirring constantly until each ladle of stock has been absorbed by the rice before adding the next.
- Once all the stock has been absorbed and the rice is tender, stir in the chopped wild mushrooms, grated parmesan, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Once the risotto is cool enough to handle, shape it into balls about the size of a golf ball.
- Set up a crumbing station with three bowls - one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the panko breadcrumbs.
- Roll each risotto ball first in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally roll in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, deep saucepan to 180°C (350°F).
- Fry the arancini balls in batches until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve the Wild Mushroom Arancini hot, with garlic aioli for dipping.
