butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

Cook samp in chicken stock until tender, about 45 minutes.

Drain and let the samp cool completely.

Heat butter in a pan over medium heat, add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine cooled samp, sautéed onion and garlic, cheese, and chopped parsley in a bowl.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls.

Roll each ball in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the arancini in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice.
