Italian Rice Bites
For the perfect appetizer, serve these rice balls alongside prepared
marinara sauce.
Makes 8 rice balls
1 cup medium-grain white rice
2 cups water
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg, beaten well
3 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese
¼ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ounce mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch x ¼-inch pieces
¼ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
Olive oil for spraying
1 cup prepared marinara sauce, for dipping
1. Put the rice, water and salt into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring
occasionally. Once rice comes to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer
until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender (follow package
instructions for timing). Allow to fully cool.
2. In a small bowl, combine the egg, Pecorino, ricotta, parsley and pepper.
While mixing and fluffing the rice with a spoon, mix in the egg and cheese
mixture. Spread the rice onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Once the rice has chilled, use slightly wet hands and scoop 3 tablespoons of
rice into a ball. Repeat with remaining rice. Stuff each ball with one piece of
the mozzarella and re-form if necessary.
4. Place the AirFryer Basket on the Baking Pan and coat with nonstick spray.
5. Put the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Gently roll each rice ball in the
breadcrumbs and transfer to the basket. Spray or brush liberally and evenly
with oil.
6. Place assembled basket in oven in the upper position. Set to Air Fry at 350ºF.
Cook rice balls until evenly golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.
7. Serve immediately, with marinara sauce on the side.
