How to make Dirty Rice Arancini
Add Swiss cheese and Parmesan to the cooked dirty rice and mix well.
Form the mixture into balls using a cookie scoop for uniformity.
Run each ball through the breading station: first coat in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally roll in panko.
Fry the breaded rice balls in oil heated between 330°F and 350°F until golden brown.
Serve it with your favorite dip or sauce.
