    Hi Natasha, my recipe suggestion is a salad recipe. It can be caesar salad. Also, this is rice ball is a healthy food. This might taste okay for me. Have you ever made those for your kids for lunch or dinner?

    I do them so very differently – I do them "italian style" cause, I am italian – and long grain rice is great for curry mixes, but not for a risotto base Arancini, use arborio rice, and its best to make "Risotto Bianco" (Plain Risotto) cook filling as separate (sauteed mushrooms, 3 cheeses, fruit of the garden, from the field – it needs to be done separate) then – 1 or 2 min out from your "Risotto Bianco" let there be a marriage, and include your filling into the party.

    Ice Cream scoop? WTF?

    USE YOUR HANDS – Let Ice cream scoop, scoop ice cream – get it away from a risotto based Arancini – ??? Do you use a potato peeler to shave your legs? my god – we really have gone insane in 2020!

    No – no, make your own breadcrumbs, not fine little pieces an electroscope is used to adjust the salt crystals – or to see the fine breadcrumbs….. manaya – just roast, dry in the oven, leave it out for a day – blitz, and add fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, a pinch of chilli flakes, a good pinch or 2 of salt, some pepper and a good handful of pecorino romano cheese! Leaving your breadcrumbs a bit bigger (crunchy)

    Dipping in flower – what – your making a veal scallopini???
    Dipping in Egg – what – you are making a schnitzel???

    OMG – Long grain rice, Cooking in a tall narrow saucepan (the hint is in the name) combining everything, drowning the rice like its "Not so special" Rice – seriously –

    As Italian/Australian – I am offended.

    Hell no! This is NOT a classic arancine recipe. I'm not saying this cannot be tasty, but please… at least put te title " My interpretation of arancini". And then everything going to be just fine 😉 thumb up anyway for this interpretation 👍

    I was taught by an Italian Grandma to use leftover Risotto. The short grain risotto is much more sticky in texture and easier to roll into a ball in my experience. This looks good though. Never thought that long grain rice would work.
