Ingredients
1 cup Carolina® Arborio Rice
3 cups Reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tbs Olive oil
1 onion, diced
1/2 tsp Each Salt & Pepper
1 cup Dry white wine
1 cup Diced corn beef
1/2 cup Grated Swiss cheese
1/4 cup Prepared sauerkraut, chopped
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup All purpose flour
2 Eggs, beaten
1 cup Dry bread crumbs
3 tbs Olive oil
2 cups Tomato sauce, warmed
Directions

1. Risotto: In small saucepan, bring broth to boil; reduce heat to low to maintain heat.

 

2. Heat oil in large skillet set over medium heat; cook onion for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add rice, salt and pepper; cook for about 2 minutes or until well coated. Add wine; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.

 

3. Add broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly, until all broth is absorbed and rice is creamy and tender, about 20 minutes.

 

4. Stir corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut into skillet. Scrape onto baking sheet; let cool to room temperature. Transfer to bowl; cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until well chilled or overnight.

 

5. Assembly: Preheat oven to 425°F. Stir Parmesan cheese into risotto mixture. Roll 2 tablespoonfuls of risotto mixture into ball; repeat to make 24 balls.

 

6. Coat each ball in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then roll in bread crumbs. Place on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil; bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with tomato sauce for dipping.
