Instructions

Step 1
For the Arrabbiata sauce, begin with finely chopping the onion (plus an extra one for the Arancini) and garlic.
Step 2
Get a pan on a medium heat and add two tbsp of olive oil. Add the chilli flakes and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the onions and sweat down for a further 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, stir and then squeeze in the tomato paste. Stir well.
Step 3
Add the tin tomatoes, with a little water and the basil leaves. Give it one final stir and leave to simmer on low for 30 minutes.
Step 4
For the Arancini, add two tbsp of olive oil to a sauce pan on medium - high heat and add the onions. Sweat down for a couple of minutes and then add the rice. Mix well and cook for 1 minute. Then add the stock. Cover and leave to simmer following package instructions (roughly 10-12 minutes).
Step 5
Once the rice is cooked add the butter and parmesan, stir through and remove from the heat.
Step 6
Spread the rice out over a baking tray and leave to fully cool.
Step 7
Slice the Mozzarella into cubes.
Step 8
Using wet hands grab a small handful of the rice. Place the mozzarella in the middle and roll into golf ball size balls.
Step 9
Ideally you should let them set in the fridge for at least two hours (but if you can't wait then march on).
Step 10
Crack two eggs into a bowl and whisk well.
Step 11
Add the breadcrumbs (season to your preference) to a plate.
Step 12
Drop the Arancini into the eggs and then straight into the bread crumbs. Make sure they are evenly coated and shake off the excess.
Step 13
In a deep sauce pan heat 2 1/2 inches of oil (canola, sunflower etc) and heat to 180c/350f.
Step 14
Carefully drop the Arancini into the oil. Move them every so often so they don't stick to the bottom and burn.
Step 15
Once a deep golden brown colour, remove and place onto paper towel. Season with a little salt.
Step 16
Let them rest for a couple of minutes and then serve with the Arrabbiata sauce on the side.
Step 17
Enjoy!
