1. Dried porcini mushrooms, 1.7 ounces
2. two tsp butter
3. One large white onion, diced finely
4. One third cup arborio rice, two tablespoons of
5. chopped garlic, and half a cup of dry white wine
6. Two and a half cups vegetable broth
7. one cup grated Parmesan cheese
8. three tablespoons chopped parsley
9. one teaspoon salt
10. half a teaspoon of pepper, black
11. Cut up mozzarella cheese (four ounces) and half a cup of bread flour
12. One and a half cups panko, or breadcrumbs,
13. two big eggs, beat

Directions:

1. To Soak dried porcini mushrooms, soak them in one cup of hot water for twenty minutes. Save the soaking liquid after draining the mushrooms. Slice the mushrooms and place them aside.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a frying pan with a sturdy bottom. Stirring frequently, sauté the onion for five minutes and then add the garlic, cooking for an additional minute.
3. When the rice begins to turn translucent, add it to the frying pan and simmer, stirring frequently, for a few minutes. After adding the wine and bringing it to a boil, simmer it for one minute.
4. Heat the stock and the mushroom liquid in a small saucepan. When the rice is nearly soft, add 1/2 cup of liquid at a time, stirring the rice after each addition.
5. Add chopped mushrooms, parsley, and parmesan cheese to the risotto and stir. Add pepper and salt for seasoning.
6. After spreading rice out on a baking sheet, chill it in the refrigerator. After the rice has cooled, roll it into golf-ball-sized balls and insert a piece of mozzarella inside. To set, put back in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
7. Form three separate balls with the flour, eggs, and panko bread crumbs within. Each ball should be dipped in flour, shaking off excess, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
8. Turn the air fryer on to 370˚F, or 187˚C. Put some arancini balls in the air fryer and let them cook for six minutes. Raise the heat to 400˚F (200˚C) and continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes, or until the outside is golden. Continue until every ball has cooked. Serve right away.

Notes:

Risotto Ball Storage, Heating, and Freezing Instructions: Storage
Refrigerator: Keep any leftover risotto balls for up to three days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Warming up again:
Air Fryer: To get the best results, reheat the risotto balls in the air fryer for five to seven minutes, or until they are thoroughly heated and have returned to their crispness, at 350°F (175°C).

Oven: As an alternative, you can reheat them for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F (175°C) in a preheated oven, rotating them halfway through to guarantee equal reheating.
Microwave: Although this is the fastest way to reheat, the risotto balls may not stay crispy when done in the microwave. Transfer them to a microwave-safe plate and reheat for 30 seconds at a time, or until thoroughly heated.

Freezing:

Prior to Cooking: After the risotto balls are shaped and prepared for cooking, put them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and freeze until they are set. After they’re frozen, move them, using parchment paper to separate the layers, into an airtight container or a zip-lock freezer bag. They last up to three months when kept frozen. Cook straight from frozen, extending the cooking time by a few minutes.

Once cooked:give the risotto balls time to cool fully. After that, put them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. After transferring, store for up to a month in an airtight container or zip-lock freezer bag. aUsing the above methods, reheat straight from frozen, modifying the cooking time accordingly.
