I first learned about this while watching Giada de Laurentis’ show on Food Network. Eventually, I did find the recipe from Ryan & Verike’s Website: What’s for Dinner: Giada’s Arancini di Riso.

Ingredients 2 cups of leftover risotto, cooled 3/4 cup breadcrumbs 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 2 eggs, beaten 2 ounces Mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (You can use more Mozzarella and bigger cubes, if you wish) Olive oil Procedure In a large bowl, combine the risotto, 1/2 cup … Read entire article »
An Easy Risotto Recipe
The first time I heard about risotto, I was watching Season 2 of Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen. I then wondered what it was and how I could cook it. After a quick search in Google, I found that it was a traditional Italian rice dish and it is one of the most common ways to cook rice in Italy. When cooking risotto, you cannot use ordinary rice. It has to be a high-starch and medium-grain rice. Typically, Carnaroli rice is used. However, Arborio rice is quite acceptable and is cheaper.
