Head Chef
In addition to the city government's chili cookoff, tonight I find out that my darling fiance has signed me up to cook for the staff party. Not that I mind, but I just wish I had more notice.
So I wanted to do something that would be easy to serve and easy for people to eat, and also vegetarian since many of the animal shelter staff don't eat meat, and I came up with Arancini.
I understand the concept behind making them, and am just wondering if there are any pitfalls I should look out for? I'm going to make a cheese-flavored risotto for the balls, and fill them with just a little more cheese and shiitake mushrooms. For a sauce I want to make a sort of creamy chanterelle sauce.
This course of action isn't set in stone at all, and I'd welcome any Arancini recipes that you all like. I found some good ones by Googling already, but it never hurts to have more.
Oh- and if anyone could recommend a type of cheese that they think goes well with chanterelles and shiitakes, I'd really appreciate that. Thanks!
