Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and then add the rice and fry for a couple of minutes. Then add the vegetable stock and saffron and continually stir until the rice is cooked and tender. Then turn off the heat and stir through the butter, Sicilian Fine Sea Salt, Selected by Maldon and parmesan. Tip the risotto onto two large metal baking trays and spread out, then allow to cool. Once cool, place the trays in the fridge to set up. You can do this step the day before too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo make the ragu start by heating 1 tbsp olive oil in a large shallow pan. Then add the diced onion, carrot and celery and fry gently for 15 minutes until completely soft. Next add the beef mince and fry until browned all over. Follow this with the tomato puree and tinned tomatoes and allow the mince to bubble and thicken for 30 - 40 minutes. If it becomes too thick and dry, then add a little water. Season with the dried oregano, Sicilian Fine Sea Salt, Selected by Maldon and cracked black pepper and then remove from the heat and allow the ragu to cool completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow you can shape the arancini by placing some of the cooled risotto rice in your palm and creating a cavity. Fill this with a teaspoon of the ragu, before shaping and coating it in more risotto rice. Use your hands to tightly pack the rice around the ragu filling and then shape into the traditional cone shape. Place your shaped arancini back into the fridge to firm up for 15 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet three shallow bowls and in the first one add the plain flour, the second one the two beaten eggs and then the breadcrumbs in the third. After 15 minutes remove the chilled arancini and gently reshape them in your hands if needed. Then coat each one in the flour first, followed by the beaten egg and then finished in the breadcrumbs - making sure they are evenly coated all over. Repeat until all the arancini are coated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the vegetable oil in a large high sided pan 2\/3 of the way up and heat until it reaches 180c. Using a large spider or slotted spoon, fry each arancini for roughly 2- 3 minutes or until they are golden brown all over. Remove with the spoon and place onto some kitchen paper to drain off the excess oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe the arancini with some seasoned passata for dipping and garnished with some extra grated parmesan and some fresh basil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M\u0026S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48356081205486,"sku":"STO-ITEM-2026-433487","price":4.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/0125\/9183\/files\/640x640_6811fb3e-ee82-4611-a83d-9056a8015418.jpg?v=1784557975","url":"https:\/\/mcgrocer.com\/products\/maldon-sicilian-fine-sea-salt-2026433487","provider":"McGrocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
