Citrus Arancine

Ingredients (16)

• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 Cup shallot, finely diced (you can substitute white onion)
• 1.5 Cups arborio rice
• 1 Teaspoon salt
• 3/4 Cup white wine
• 6 Cups low-salt chicken or vegetable broth (You may not use all of it. I always error on having too much rather than not enough.)
• 1 Teaspoon ground fennel seed (freshly ground is best if you can)
• 1 orange, zest only
• 1 lemon, zest only
• 1 lime, zest only
• 30 1/2-inch cubes (about 6 ounces) of young sheep's milk cheese like Brinata. I think you could substitute a wide variety of cheeses here.

• 6 Cups vegetable oil for frying
