Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, garlic, bay leaf and sauté for about 3 minutes or just until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the rice.
- Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil then lower to a simmer.
- Cook the rice until tender and all the liquid has absorbed, for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf and discard it.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer to a bowl and cool completely.
- When cooled stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg and egg yolk.
- Divide the mixture in 12 equal portions and place the portions on a small tray. Having these portions ready will make it easier to fill the rice balls.
- Keep a small bowl filled with water close by and from time to time moisten your hands for easy rolling of the rice balls. This step will greatly minimize any fuss and mess when rolling the balls. Trust me and you can thank me later!
- Combine the prosciutto and mozzarella together in a small bowl.
- With moistened hands, scoop up 1/4 cup of the rice mixture and cup it in one hand. Use your other hand to flatten it slightly while making an indentation. Place about a teaspoon of the mozzarella and prosciutto mixture in the middle. Close your hand, making a fist and gently roll into a ball. If needed, you can always add more rice.
- Place the rice ball on a greased cookie sheet and repeat with the remaining rice and filling to form 12 rice balls.
- Moisten your hands with water as often as needed for easy rolling. This will prevent the rice from sticking too much on your hands and you will be able to roll the rice balls effortlessly.
- Roll the rice balls, one at a time, first in the flour then in the egg whites and finely in the bread crumbs while turning to coat all over and place them back on a cookie sheet.
- Cover with plastic wrap and then chill for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, line a cookie sheet with paper towels and place it next to your stove.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a dutch oven or a deep frying pan (the oil should measure about 2 inches deep), to 350*F. Use a deep frying thermometer for accuracy. Make sure there is enough oil in the pan to ensure they cook evenly and to avoid any from bursting.
- Use a wire skimmer or a large slotted spoon to gently lower the rice balls into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd them.
- Fry the rice balls for about 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy all over. You can also keep them warm in the oven preheated to 200*F while you fry up the rest.
- When ready, remove with the wire skimmer or your slotted spoon and place them on the prepared cookie sheet to drain.
- Repeat with the remaining rice balls.
- Serve while hot alongside a crispy salad or wth your favourite tomato sauce.

Steps:
- Make the Ragu up to 3 days in advance. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in 3 quart sauce pan over medium heat. Crumble the meat and add the onions. Cook stirring often, until the water given off is evaporated and the meat and onion begin to brown, about 10 minute.
- Season the meat and onion lightly with salt. Stir in the carrots and celery and continue cooking until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, the tomato paste, red pepper and salt to taste. Adjust the heat to simmering and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened about 30 minutes. If the sauce begins sticking to the pan at any time add a few tablespoons of water. Stir in the peas and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. The finished ragu should be dense and reduced. Remove and cool to room temperature.
- WHILE THE RAGU IS COOLING MAKE THE RICE. Bring the stock and 2 tablespoons olive oil to a boil in a 3 quart sauce pan. Stir in the rice and return to the boil, then adjust heat to a simmer. Cook the rice uncovered until tender but firm about 12 minutes. Drain the rice and spread out on a tray to cool to room temperature. When rice is cool scrape into a mixing bowl and beat in the four eggs and the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Take a handful, about 1/3 cup of the cooled mixture and shape into a ball in the palm of your hand. Make a well in the center of the ball and drop in 1 tablespoon of ragu. Work the rice ball until it is completely encloses the ragu, and reform the rice into a firm ball. Continue forming arancine with the remaining rice and ragu.
- Whisk the 2 eggs in a mixing bowl. Spread the flour on one plate and the bread crumbs on the other, in an even layer.
- Dredge a few of the rice balls in flour to coat all sides. Tap off excess flour . Roll the rice balls in the beaten egg to coat, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Finally roll the rice balls in the bread crumbs, pressing lightly to coat evenly with the crumbs. Remove to a clean baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining rice balls.
- If you would like to serve the balls hot, heat the oven to 200°F or to the lowest setting. Line a baking sheet with a double thickness of paper towels. Pour the vegetable oil and the olive oil into a deep skillet. Insert a deep frying thermometer and heat the oil to 375°F If working without a thermometer the oil around the rice ball must simmer and give a steady sizzle. Don't cook too hot, adjust heat as needed.
- When the oil comes to temperature, carefully slip about 1/3 of the rice balls into the oil. Fry turning with tongs and slotted spoons until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 4 minutes. Remove to the paper towel lined baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Fry the remaining balls. The arancine can be served warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- For the risotto: Puree the corn and Parmesan in a food processor until paste-like and almost completely smooth. Set aside.
- Heat a 3 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter, and heat until the butter is melted. Add the shallots and garlic; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until soft and fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the salt and stir in the rice; cook for one minute. Deglaze with the wine and reduce the heat to medium; simmer, stirring, until the wine is almost fully absorbed. Stir in the chicken broth and rosemary; cook, stirring often, until the rice is tender but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the corn puree.
- Spread the risotto out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold.
- For the arancini: Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Combine the flour and salt in the first bowl; whisk the eggs in the second bowl; mix the panko and cornmeal in the third. Using a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop a ball of risotto into the palm of your hand. Press a piece of chicken sausage into the center of the ball, then shape the ball to make sure it is completely covered. Roll the ball in the flour, then in the egg, and, finally, in the breadcrumbs, making sure the ball is completely coated. Place the arancini on a rimmed baking sheet and continue with the remaining risotto.
- Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Fry the arancini in batches of 5 or 6, using a spider or slotted spoon to carefully lower the rice balls into the oil. Fry until deep golden brown and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined tray.
- Serve warm with marinara for dipping, if desired.
