Arancini Di Riso
Ingredients:
1 lb. rice
2 eggs
1/4 lb. grated parmesan cheese
3/4 lb. ground beef
1/4 lb. ground chicken
1 onion and 1 stalk of celery, chopped
1/4 tsp. sage
1 tsp. oregano
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup white wine
Oil for fying
Some flour and dried breadcrumbs
1 beaten egg
Cook the chopped onion and celery with a soupspoon of oil in a pan and cook over a moderate fire. Add the meat, chicken, sage, oregano, salt and pepper and continue cooking, stirring constantly. Add the white wine.
Meanwhile boil the rice in salt water and when cooked add the grated
parmesan cheese and the two eggs.
When the rice is cold put a soupspoon of rice in your left hand, add a teaspoon of the meat mixture, and complete the ball with another spoonful of rice, forming a ball about the size of a small orange.
When all the balls are formed roll them in flour, then dip them in
the beaten egg, followed by the breadcrumbs, and fry them in boiling oil.
There should be enough oil to completely cover the "little oranges". As soon as they are golden remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb the extra oil.
Keep them warm in the oven until ready to serve.
