Prepare risotto according to recipe until creamy and al dente.

Allow risotto to cool completely before handling.

Mix in mozzarella, parmesan, and peas into the cooled risotto.

Shape the risotto mixture into balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Dredge each ball in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip each ball into beaten eggs, ensuring full coverage.

Coat each ball in bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

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

Remove arancini and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
