Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup diced chorizo sausage
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
In a large saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the Arborio rice and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
-
In a separate pan, sauté the diced bell peppers, onions, and chorizo sausage until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is cooked through.
-
Add the cooked rice, frozen peas, and grated Parmesan cheese to the pan with the vegetables and sausage. Stir well to combine and season with salt and pepper.
-
Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
-
Dip each ball into the beaten eggs, then roll in bread crumbs to coat.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the arancini balls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Serve the paella arancini bites hot and enjoy!
