Instructions

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. 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. 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. 

   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. 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. 

   Dry off with old newspaper or paper towels. Enjoy!!!
