Italian Rice Balls Recipe

Italian Rice Balls

From blondeberry 16 years ago

Delicious rice balls, use as an appetizer or a side dish. I even make these in my Foods class. the kids love them.

Boil water, add salt, 1 Tbsp. butter and rice.
Cook for 20 minutes.
After the rice sets a short time; add 2 beaten eggs, 1 Tbsp. butter, one tsp salt, Marinara sauce for color, (colors the rice a nice pink) Mozzarella, and grated Romano.
Mix until well blended and cheese begins to melt.
Form balls with rice mixture.
Dip the rice balls into the remaining 3 beaten eggs, and then roll in bread crumbs.
Deep fry until golden.

I originally ate the stuffed version about 30 yrs ago. God, I loved them. The best ever. I guess you'd call mine the fast food version. They give you a quick fix when you need it. I frequently take these to parties with a bowl of marinara.
