Mushroom stuffed rice balls (Arancini)
About:
Arancini have long been one of my Italian favorites, especially when dipped in a warm plate of basil-tomato marinara sauce. What? You’ve never heard of arancini? They are basically Italian rice/risotto balls stuffed with cheese, usually mozzarella. They are DIVINE. Normally arancini is a rice ball coated with breadcrumbs and deep fried but here I baked them to make it guilt free. To lighten up this Italian favorite I used brown rice, fresh herbs and baked them instead of frying. Let me tell all of you these still came out fantastic!
Yields-15-20 balls
Preparation time-30 minutes (including cooking time of rice)
Soaking time for rice-30 minutes
Baking time-25-35 minutes
