Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • cooking spray
  • 2 cups leftover risotto, cold
  • 6 small fresh mozzarella balls, patted dry with paper towels
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • sea salt

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350. Heat the canola oil in a large saute pan over medium heat; allow it to heat for about 5-7 minutes, and then sprinkle a few crumbs into the oil; if they brown almost immediately, you are read for frying.
  2. Place the bread crumbs in a bowl. Spray a 1/3 cup measuring cup with cooking spray and pack with risotto. Press a small ball of mozzarella inside and cover with a little more risotto. Gently scoop the risotto into the bread crumbs and shake to cover; make sure the risotto is completely covered with crumbs so it doesn't fall apart in the oil.
  3. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry about 4 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown. Drain on paper towels and place on a baking sheet and put into the oven for about 5-7 minutes to be sure the cheese is melted.

I just bookmarked this one. Thanks for sharing.


Looks so good you want to eat it, doesn't it? Nice dipped in some spicy marinara.


I've has this at restaurants, and it's delicious! Can't wait to make at home (though we usually end up eating the whole pot of risotto).


This sounds yummy, but we rarely have left over risotto. I would have to make a batch specifically for this recipe. Not a bad idea, though. :)
