Summary

Name: Arancini Di Riso

Category: Italian

1 lb. rice

2 eggs

1/4 lb. grated parmesan cheese

3/4 lb. ground beef

1/4 lb. ground chicken

1 onion and 1 stalk of celery, chopped

1/4 tsp. sage

1 tsp. oregano

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup white wine

Oil for fying

Some flour and dried breadcrumbs

1 beaten egg

Cook the chopped onion and celery with a soupspoon of oil in a pan and cook

over a moderate fire. Add the meat, chicken, sage, oregano, salt and pepper

and continue cooking, stirring constantly. Add some of the white wine.

Meanwhile boil the rice in salt water and when cooked add the grated

parmesan cheese and the two eggs. When the rice is cold put a soupspoon of

rice in your left hand, add a teaspoon or the meat mixture, and complete the

ball with another spoonful of rice, forming a ball about the size of a small

orange. When all the balls are formed roll them in flour, then dip them in

the beaten egg, followed by the breadcrumbs, and fry them in boiling oil.

There should be enough oil to completely cover the "little oranges". As soon

as they are golden remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to

absorb the extra oil. Keep them warm in the oven until ready to serve.
