Directions[]

  1. Heat the stock in a large saucepan and keep on a constant simmer.
  2. Melt butter in another saucepan and add rice stirring to coat all the grains; just add stock, one ladle at a time until absorbed.
  3. Continue until the rice is tender but still firm, approximately 18–20 minutes.
  4. Add mozzarella, shallots, herbs, orange zest, Parmesan, salt and pepper; mix and remove from the heat and allow to cool; the rice is much easier to shape when it is cool.
  5. Shape the rice into 8 balls.
  6. Dip each ball into the beaten egg and coat well, then roll in the breadcrumbs, pressing crumbs into any areas that may look a bit bare.
  7. Heat oil in a large pan, then add the rice balls and cook until golden all over; you can do this in two batches if necessary.
  8. Drain well on the kitchen paper.
