Filled Rice Balls Recipe

FILLED RICE BALLS

These stuffed rice balls, I tried them recently when I was first in a well-known pizzeria in the city where I live. Palencia. The pizzeria in particular is called Kuró. There, we ordered some pizzas and also these rice balls. Each one with a different filling. They surprised me and they liked me a lot. So much so that I decided soon after to prepare them at home. And now, I want to put it here. Let's go with the recipe for stuffed rice balls.

INGREDIENTS TO MAKE 4 STUFFED RICE BALLS:

• 400g of round rice
• 800ml of water, to cook the rice
• 125g of fresh mozzarella cheese
• The filling we want. The ones in the photo are cooked spinach
• flour, beaten egg and bread crumbs, to bread them
• Oil
• Salt

RECIPE OF RICE BALLS FILLED:

1.- Cook the rice. In a saucepan we take the water and bring it to a boil. Once it boils, we add a pinch of salt and rice. Let cook over medium heat about 15 minutes. Until the rice has absorbed all the water and is al dente

2.- We remove the rice from the fire and we toss the fresh mozarella in pieces. We remove it so that it integrates and melts well with the rice and then let the rice temper a little

3.- Now, we take a portion of the rice. We crush it a little and put in the middle the filling we want (not much). It can be spinach, ham and cheese, a shrimp, tuna, a good bolognese or whatever you want ... The important thing is that you have a delicious "gift" inside

4.- We take another portion of rice of the same size and place it on top of the filling. We give it a ball shape. In the end, we should have a ball about the size of a tennis ball. They are pretty big balls.

5.- We smeared the ball well with flour, beaten egg and bread crumbs. We finish giving it the form

6.- Finally fry in plenty of oil. The oil should be hot but not too much that, they are quite fat stuffed rice balls. At about 150ºC. Once fried, remove and place on absorbent paper. Delicious!

Some very good stuffed rice balls. And a great way to surprise your guests or family. The filling, as I said, is totally optional. Try to do them!
