Method

  • Cook rice according to package directions.
  • Allow rice to cool before mixing.
  • Grind up the meats and mozzarella then mix together with rice along with the parsley and Locatelli cheese. I use my food processor to chop the meat and cheese.
  • Mix until it is easy to roll into a ball.
  • Then coat each ball with flour, dip in egg, then bread crumbs.
