Be afraid of arancini no more! P.S when cooked, they should have an orange tint (which is from where they get their Italian name).

Add the arborio rice into the pan and mix well with the oil, butter, onion mixture. You can now turn the heat back up to medium-high but keep stirring constantly. Prepare the stock by mixing one Knorr Chicken Stock Pot with 500ml boiling water. Pour the stock into the pan, one cup at a time, together with a pinch of saffron, stirring constantly. |

When the arborio rice is cooked, after about 20 minutes – do keep in mind that arborio rice is supposed to feel very al dente – stir in the freshly-grated parmesan cheese and 1/2 tbsp of lemon juice. Take the pan off the heat. Pour the risotto out of the pan and into a wide glass dish so that it cools quicker. |

In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs. Start by passing the ball through the first bowl: the flour, then the eggs and finally the breadcrumbs. First ball done! It will get better as you go along. You can freeze these at this point for later, deep-fry them, or even bake in the oven at 180C. Enjoy! |
