Rice Croquettes With Smoked Ham And Mozzarella Recipes

RICE CROQUETTES WITH SMOKED HAM AND MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Pour the stock into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduced the heat to achieve a gentle simmer and maintain over low heat.
• Meanwhile, in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes to coat. Add a ladleful for the simmering stock and stir constantly. When the liquid is almost absorbed, add another ladleful. Stir constantly and add more stock, a ladleful at a time, when the previous ladleful is almost absorbed. The rice is done when it is firm but tender and the center of each grain is no longer chalky, 20-25 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the tomato sauce, parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Let cool completely, and then stir in the egg yolk, mixing well. In a small bowl, toss together the ham, peas, and mozzarella.
• Scoop up 2 tablespoons of the rice mixture. Using two fingers, make a cavity in the center. Fill it with a little of the ham mixture. Finish shaping the rice by hand to make a croquette the size of a large chicken egg. Roll in bread crumbs to coat completely. Repeat with the remaining rice and filling.
• In a saucepan, pour in oil to a depth of 3 inches (7.5 cm) and heat to 350 F on a deep-frying thermometer, or until a bit of bread turns golden within moments of being dropped into the oil. Add croquettes, a few at a time, and fry, turning them to cook evenly, until deeply golden, 3-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately.

• Bring broth to boil in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat and cover. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and sauté 4 minutes. Add rice; stir 1 minute.

Mix in Parmesan. Season risotto with salt and pepper. Cool completely. Mix in 1 egg. Cover and chill.
• Place some flour in 1 bowl; place remaining egg in another bowl and beat to blend. Place breadcrumbs in third bowl. Using moistened hands, shape 1/4 cup (packed) cold risotto into ball. Poke hole in center. Fill with 1 rounded teaspoon mozzarella and 1 teaspoon prosciutto. Press risotto over filling. Coat rice balls in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Place on rack to dry. Repeat with remaining risotto, filling and coating. Let rice balls stand at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
