Steps to make Arancini:
- For the breadcrumbs, Cut the focaccia into 2-inch pieces and place in a blender. Pulse the bread into bread crumbs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place in a plate and set aside.
- For the risotto, Heat butter and olive oil in a deep pan. When melted add the shallot and garlic. Cook slowly over low heat until they turn opaque. Be careful not to let them burn.
- Add the rice and stir, combining the rice with the mixture. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until the grains of rice has an opaque colouring around the edges.
- Add the wine stirring briskly until the liquid evaporates.
- Add a ladle of stock, cook on low heat, until the liquid evaporates.
- Add a ladle of stock every few mins, be careful not to let the liquid evaporate too much. The rice will become creamy. Continue to add the stock a ladle at a time until the rice is al dente and the mixture is creamy.
- Stir in the cheeses until melted and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour risotto into a plate and leave to cool.
- To prepare the arancini balls, in a bowl whisk the egg whites until it turns to white foam. Place about a tablespoon of risotto in your hands and roll into a ball about 2 inches in diameter.
- Take each ball and dredge in flour first, then in egg white, then finally in the breadcrumbs. Place the balls on a plate. When all balls are dredged, cover them in cling film and leave in the fridge for a minimum of one hour to dry the balls ready for frying later.
- Cooking the Arancini, Heat a deep pan with 2 inches of oil. Add a droplet of egg white to check the temperature of the oil. Egg white should sizzle and float to the top.
- When at the right temperature, add the balls one at a time. Watch to make sure that the oil is not too hot. Fry the balls, moving them around the pan until they are a deep golden brown colour. Remove balls when ready and place them on kitchen roll or in deep fryer basket to drain the excess oil. Serve hot or cold.
