About Crispy risotto balls

Crispy Risotto Balls, also known as Arancini, are a beloved Italian appetizer with a golden, crunchy exterior and a creamy, savory interior. Traditionally made from leftover risotto, these bite-sized treats feature Arborio rice mixed with cheese (often mozzarella or Parmesan), herbs, and sometimes fillings like meat, vegetables, or mushrooms. They're rolled into balls, coated with breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to perfection. While Arancini are rich in flavor and texture, they are a high-calorie option due to the deep-frying process and use of cheese. However, they offer a source of carbohydrates and can include nutrient-packed additions like spinach or peas depending on the recipe. For a lighter alternative, they can be baked. Crispy Risotto Balls bring the heartiness of Italian comfort food to your plate, making them a tasty indulgence enjoyed sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
