Arancini can be made from leftover risotto. If you can't find small bocconcini, use cubes of mozzarella instead. Make sure you season the mix well. Add some fresh herbs for extra flavour. These rice balls are best served hot and are delicious with a spicy tomato dipping sauce. Arancini can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen, uncooked or cooked. Reheat in the oven before serving.
