A fun twist on a classic. The addition of our Chilli Caciotta gives a cheesy, spicy kick.
2 cups cooked risotto rice, cooled
150g chilli caciotta, cut into 1cm cubes
1 egg
½ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
2 eggs, beaten
1½ cups breadcrumbs
Oil, for frying
Salt & pepper to season
Step 1
Mix risotto with egg and Parmigiano and season lightly. Take a tablespoon of risotto, flatten and place a cube of chilli caciotta in the centre and gently roll into a ball.
Step 2
Dip in egg and then coat in breadcrumbs. Place onto a lined baking tray and repeat until all the risotto has been used. Chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 3
Heat oil to 180c and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately with warm romesco sauce.
