You can prepare either baked or fried, but do not deny that I prefer them This latter way. They are usually served as aperitifs and appetizers but when prepare them completely replace the first and the second, just to accompany an excellent side dish or uninsalata fresh.
First, boil the rice in salted water, drain and let cool. Apart reduce the diced mozzarella and also the ham if not already cubed.
United in a bowl rice cooked ham, mozzarella cheese, 1 egg and grated cheese. Mix everything and season with salt if necessary.
With the help of a spoon formed into balls (4 or 5 cm in diameter) passing in the palms of the hands and pressing so that they will be compacted and avoid breaking during cooking.
Keep it up until you finish the mixture by placing the balls in a tray.
Besides, beat the remaining 3 eggs and put the breadcrumbs in a saucer. Then move the arancini before the egg and then in bread crumbs.
Repeat this again to get a golden and crispy breading.
At this point in temperature reaches the oil for frying in a large pan and from the bottom edge (unless you have the fryer)
I do not use the thermometer even though I know that to get the oil unottima frying should reach 180. I ruler throwing inside a little breadcrumbs and if surrounded by lots of bubbles the oil is ready
So lying with a flat ladle 5 or 6 croquettes at a time, turn them only after about 2 or 3 minutes and however not before it has formed a golden crust.
After cooking, drain with a slotted spoon and place them in a dish with absorbent paper. Once all the balls and when fully drained and dry serve.
