Description

Delicious rice balls infused with truffle oil and Parmesan cheese, creating a crispy exterior and creamy interior that brings warmth and joy to any table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked Arborio rice
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons truffle oil
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Arborio rice according to package instructions and allow to cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cooled rice, egg, grated Parmesan, truffle oil, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper until incorporated.
  3. Wet hands slightly, scoop out a golf ball-sized portion, and roll into a ball.
  4. Coat each ball in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully covered.
  5. For frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry until golden brown. For baking, place on a lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
  6. Drizzle with additional truffle oil before serving and enjoy warm.

Notes

Ensure the rice cools completely before shaping to avoid mushy rice balls. You can serve these with marinara or creamy dips.
