The old Nonna who gave me this recipe never made it quite the same way... but she made it every New Years Eve for dinner or for New Year's Day... and if you were invited for a meal then, you took part in the fight to make sure you had at least two!!! No joke! Most people I know prefer them fried rather than broiled, but either way, they're sure to be a hit! Peggy Sicilian Rice Croquettes (ARANCINI) Ingredients 1 lb. white rice (preferably Arborio) 4 eggs (separated) 1/2 C grated Parmesan cheese 1 lb. Mozzarella cheese, cut in 16 cubes (fresh is best) 1/4 lb. Genoa salami, cut in small pieces (or your favorite meatballs or meatball mixture) 1-1/2 c. Italian bread crumbs Olive oil (don't you have an unending supply at your house?) spaghetti sauce (any red sauce you prefer) Directions Cook rice until sticky. Let cool. Mix rice, egg yolks, and grated cheese in large bowl. Form rice mixture into balls the size of oranges, and make an indentation in the center of the ball (like a bird's nest). Then tuck a piece of Mozzarella and a couple pieces of salami (or a meatball) into the nest and close up the rice ball. Beat egg whites. Dip each rice ball in beaten egg whites and then roll in bread crumbs. Drizzle with olive oil and broil on all sides or fry in deep fryer until well-browned, but not burned. To serve, split open and top with meat sauce. Makes 14 to 16. Once you get the hang of making these, you'll love them............ they really are yummy............! ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
