parmesan cheese

Prepare risotto by heating vegetable broth in a pot over low heat.

In a separate pan, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent.

Add risotto rice and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Gradually add warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring until absorbed, until rice is al dente.

Stir in parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and lemon zest; mix well and let cool.

Once cooled, form small balls with a piece of mozzarella inside each.

Dredge each ball in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat with bread crumbs.

Heat olive oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).

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

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
