Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • Frying pan
  • Baking sheet
  • Medium bowl
  • Slotted spoon

Method

  1. In a large pot, bring the broth to a simmer.
  2. Add the Arborio rice and stir to combine. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  3. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes, or until it is cool enough to handle.
  5. Form the mixture into small balls, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  6. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg.
  7. Dip each rice ball into the egg mixture, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
  8. In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  9. Add the rice balls to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  10. Remove the rice balls from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  11. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

These rice balls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
