Those gooey balls of risotto with a crunchy crumb coating are the finger food everyone is searching for at the party.
Looking for a mushroom arancini?
Crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside.
This recipe makes 18 arancini. Arancini, which means "little oranges" in Italian, make an excellent finger food or light lunch with salad. The risotto mixture can be made a day ahead. Arancini can be fried several hours ahead of serving and reheated in a slow oven. Don't have the oil too hot as the arancini will burn before the cheese is melted inside. After deep-frying, they can be kept warm in a slow oven.
