Was out of onion, so I used lots of garlic. Also added cayenne pepper to give it a kick. Added chives and basil for herbs, and andouille sausage in the middle, then rolled in panko instead of bread crumbs.

We really enjoyed these. I made them a little smaller and gave each person 3 on a pool of spicy tomato sauce as a first course. There are a lot of steps but it's pretty simple to put together. I made the risotto early in the day, rolled it into balls and stuffed in the afternoon, and then did the frying just before serving. Put them in a hot oven for a few minutes and the mozzarella was nice and melty. Will definitely make these again.

A little time consuming, but not hard, and worth every minute! I thought the Essence added a nice signature flavor to the final product. I used smoked mozzarella and a square of capacolla ham to stuff the rice balls. I chilled the rissotto for several hours before making the balls, and that worked beautifully! It's important to make sure that the oil is the correct temperature to insure a good melt in the middle. A terrific appetizer that my friends and family enjoyed!

I put my fiance to work on stirring the risotto. He spent a solid 20 minutes stirring constantly. A couple of hours later, I shaped the balls and stuffed them with smoked mozzarella. I didn't add meat. They came out perfectly, though the cheese on the inside didn't melt very much. I think the oil was maybe a little hotter than it should have been if I wanted it to crisp the outside slowly enough to melt the inside. Best of all, when we ate and wildly enjoyed, my fiance got to take part of the credit without overwhelming himself in the kitchen on a difficult recipe. Awesome recipe! Add a little bit of fresh nutmeg to the risotto to bring out the creaminess.

Very rich and creamy. My husband loved this. I had a bit of Pancetta left and made Giatta Brussels Sprounts w/ Pancetta to go with it.

It was a great combination

Very simple directions, quite the hit! My friends and family thought they were even better than the ones we love in the North End of Boston. A great recipe to do with some friends, a bottle of wine, and great italian music!

I am a risotto fan and thought i would try to make something different with it for once. I added the cheese and cooked meat to the risotto and blended it as opposed to forming a little pocket for it. Putting the risotto in the freezer is a must to shape the balls. I fried the arancini in a deep frier and it worked perfectly. It was a success, my brother in law and husband loved it!
