    I first tasted rice balls in Italy and loved them. These are worth the time it takes to make them. Different if you want to surprise your guest.

    I used this recipe for it's basic ideas - the coating, the filling etc. But with my own variations, namely to use up some left overs. I found that left-over risotto works so well because of the natural 'sauce' that the rice makes. Once cooled this makes the rice so easy to form. What a great treat for lunch the day after a risotto dinner! Or try it even with mashed potatoes, which brought me right back to eating the potato balls (filled with just cheese you can buy in the North End in Boston.

    I've made these rice balls for family events quite a few times & they'realways a huge hit! Although they take a bit of time to make it's worth every bite. Coming from Brooklyn, NY (Home of the best pizzeria's & rice balls I can honestly say they taste better & have more flavor than any NY riceball I've eaten in 15 years!

    Enjoy!

    This recipe does take time, but well worth it. Unable to find any specialty stores who had them already prepared, I figured I would give it a shot. I was able to find rice with saffron already added, saved me alot of money and it does make the riceballs. Do not leave it out. I also used a icecream scooper to make the rice balls. It was a big hit at family gathering. Wish I had made more.
