Course Side Dish
Servings 12 balls

Ingredients

For the roasted veggies

  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 courgette
  • 280 g cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp garlic infused olive oil

For the risotto base

  • 1 tbsp garlic infused olive oil
  • 200 g risotto rice
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 250 ml passata
  • 750 ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • 50 g cheese

For the arancini

  • 4 slices Juvela Gluten Free white bread
  • 70 g gluten free plain flour
  • 2 eggs (beaten)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200C fan.
  • Start by halving your cherry tomatoes, slicing your courgette into discs and chopping your yellow pepper. Place onto a baking tray and drizzle with garlic infused olive oil. Place into the oven for 20 minutes.
  • While your veggies are roasting, place 1 tbsp of garlic infused oil into a large frying pan along with your passata, stock and white wine vinegar. Bring to the boil and turn down to a simmer. Then add your risotto rice and stir occasionally, stirring more often as it reduces.
  • Simmer until the sauce has completely reduced to be nice and sticky and the rice is cooked. Add a little more water if it reduces before the rice is cooked. This should take around 20 minutes.
  • Once reduced and the rice is cooked, add your roasted veggies from the oven and mix in.
  • Add your cheese and stir in. Allow to cool completely.
  • While your risotto is cooling, blitz your four slices of Juvela Gluten Free bread until they resemble fine breadcrumbs.
  • Place these onto a baking tray and spray with a little oil. Place these into the oven for 5-10 minutes at 200C until golden.
  • Grab two bowls and pour your gluten free plain flour into one and crack your two eggs into the other. Don't forget to beat them too.
  • Take your breadcrumbs out of the oven and allow to cool slightly.
  • Roll a ball of risotto until about the size of a golf ball. Roll your ball in the bowl of gluten free flour, then in the egg bowl, then in the golden breadcrumbs.
  • Repeat until you've created about 10 arancini balls. Then place in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
