You Will Need (12 things)

  • 1 Red Onion
  • 1 Red Pepper
  • 200 g Risotto Rice
  • 5 Sundried Tomatoes
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 30 ml Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Margarine
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Purée
  • 2 tsp Oregano
  • 150 g Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp Parsley
  • 650 ml Stock (some more may be needed)

Steps (6 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Finely chop onion, garlic, pepper and sun-dried tomatoes.

    Heat margarine and oil in large pan. Add chopped vegetables. Fry until soft and starting to brown. Then add risotto rice and stir for 1-2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cover mixture with stock . Add purée and the seasoning (parsley and oregano)
    Bring mixture to boil and reduce to simmer for approx 15-20 mins, covered.

  3. 3

    Test rice to see if done- should have some 'bite' left in it.

    Transfer mixture to bowl and chill in fridge until completely cooled.

    (this allows mixture to thicken up)

  4. 4

    Once cooled, scoop out mixture and form into balls. Coat well with bread crumbs.

    When all covered, place back in fridge for 30 mins.

  5. 5

    Heat oil in fryer until a crumb starts to fry upon contact with oil.

    Add the risotto balls and fry until golden brown.

    They cook very quickly and do not leave unattended.

  6. 6

    Dry off with old newspaper or paper towels.

    Enjoy!!!
