Risotto croquettes with mozzarella
You may serve these risotto croquettes into the mozzarella with a green salad. Enjoy for appetizer or starter with friends or family.
1. Rinse the rice. Peel and slice the shallots. Melt the butter in a skillet and add the shallots without browning. Add the rice and let cook until translucent. Bring the broth to a boil and gradually to the rice. Stir and cook over low heat, adding ladle by ladle the broth as soon as the rice absorbs it.
2. Dice the mozzarella. Pour the bread crumbs in a plate. Form some small rice balls and insert 1 dice mozzarella. Roll them in the breadcrumbs.
3. Heat the frying oil. Gently dip the rice croquettes by three for 2 minutes. When they are golden brown, drain on paper towels. Serve hot with a salad.
