In the kitchen 7 steps
- Bring the salted water (600 ml) to a boil with the saffron (1 pinch), add the rice (240 g) and cook covered for 15 to 18 minutes, until it has absorbed all the liquid.
- Spread the rice on a baking sheet and let it cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, warm the ragù (160 g) with the peas (60 g) for 5 minutes, then let it cool. Cut the mozzarella (100 g) into small cubes.
- Take a handful of rice in your wet hand, flatten it and make a hollow in the center, fill it with a spoonful of ragù and a few cubes of mozzarella, then close it up, pressing firmly to shape a ball.
- Whisk the flour (80 g) into the cold water (120 ml) to make a smooth batter. Dip each arancino in the batter, then roll it in the breadcrumbs (120 g).
- Heat the frying oil (1 l) to 170 °C in a deep saucepan, keeping a close eye on it at all times, and fry the arancini for 4 to 5 minutes, a few at a time, until golden brown.
- Drain them on paper towels and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving: the center is piping hot.
Cooked rice: cool it quickly and keep it in the fridge.
Tip: Keep a bowl of water close by to wet your hands: the rice won't stick and the balls will stay nice and smooth.
