Summertime TAKEAWAY

PEA, TARRAGON & MASCARPONE ARANCINI

Prep, 10 mins. Cooking, 1 ¼ hours

MAKES 25

I love eating arancini as soon as they are fried, but that will never be possible on a picnic, so I’ve found a way of ensuring the rice stays soft even when cold. Out with the butter (which hardens when cold) and in with luscious mascarpone.

400ml vegetable stock
1tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
125g risotto rice
3tbsp dry vermouth
or dry white wine
60g frozen peas, defrosted
2tbsp chopped tarragon
2tbsp mascarpone
3tbsp freshly grated
Parmesan cheese
75g plain flour
75g panko breadcrumbs
1 egg
1tsp milk
Sunflower oil, for frying
Sea salt and freshly
ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, to serve

Bring the stock to the boil in a saucepan, then lower the heat
