To make
Instructions
To make Risotto:In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook until the rice is lightly toasted, 1—2 minutes . Add white wine and cook until mostly absorbed. Gradually add broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue until the rice is creamy and cooked through, about 18—20 minutes.
Stir in the crab meat, parmesan cheese, and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the risotto cool completely.
To make Arancini:
Once the risotto is cool, shape it into small balls (golf ball size) and stuff with brie cheese.
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs and parsley. Roll each risotto ball in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Place breaded arancini on a baking sheet.
Heat enough oil to cover arancini balls in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F. Fry Crab Mushroom and Brie Arancini in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3—4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
Serve Crab Mushroom and Brie Arancini hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy!
