Directions:

  1. Bring stock to boil in a medium pan. Reduce the heat to low and keep hot.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, add onion and garlic and cook stirring until onion is soft but not coloured. Add rice and cook stirring through until rice is translucent (about 2 minutes). Add the wine and stir through until liquid evaporated.
  3. Add about 1/3 cup of the hot stock, and stir over a low-medium heat until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat until all the stock is used (about 25 minutes).
  4. Stir in the peas and ham and salt & pepper to taste. Remove from heat and gently fold in parmesan cheese. Transfer the risotto to a bowl and cool.
  5. Chop the mozzarella into 18 pieces.
  6. Stir the egg into the risotto. Roll 2 level tablespoons of risotto into a ball; press a piece of mozzarella into the centre of each ball; roll to enclose. Toss the balls in flour, shake away excess. Dip into the combined extra egg and milk and coat in breadcrumbs. Makes 18 balls.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan, deep ry the arancini in batches until they are browned and heated through.
  8. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot.
