Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 onions halved, sliced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 2 ½ cups chicken stock boiling
- 25 g 1oz butter
- 1 cup grated parmesan
- 100 g 3.5oz mozzarella, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Heat half the oil in a medium frying pan on low. Cook onion for 15 minutes, covered or until very soft. Add sugar and vinegar and stir until combined. Cook for 5 minutes until onion is caramelised
- Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large saucepan on high. Add rice and cook for 1 minute, or until rice is coated.
- Add all but ¼ cup of hot stock. Stir and simmer on low, covered for 12-15 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from heat, add remaining stock (I left this out of mine as I thought that would be too much liquid) with butter, ¾ cup of parmesan and caramelised onion and stir to combine. Transfer to a container and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 180C (360F) fan-forced.
- Grease a 24-hole mini muffin tin (or use a baking paper lined tray).
- Roll 1 tablespoon of risotto into a ball. Press a hole in the centre of the ball, fill with a piece of mozzarella and carefully roll ball to enclose. Press into prepared muffin tin (or place on tray). Repeat. Sprinkle remaining parmesan over risotto balls.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until firm and golden. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Run a small knife around the edge of cakes to loosen before removing from the pan.
- Serve at room temperature or cold.
