Restaurant: Glass and Vine

Recipe: Carbonara Bacon Arrancini with Black Truffle Aioli

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 ounces apple wood smoked bacon
  • ½ yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup chopped Italian parsley
  • 1 cup + 1 oz grated grana padano cheese
  • 3 cups cooked and cooled arborio rice
  • 3 large eggs, 1 beaten and 2 separated
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Canola oil, for frying

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the bacon cut into ¼ in strips and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and nearly crisp (5 minutes). Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain.

Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt to the saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and well browned (12 minutes). Stir in 1 tablespoon of the flour and cook until a paste forms. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk and bring to a simmer, then cook over moderately low heat, whisking, until thickened and no floury taste remains (5 – 7 minutes). Scrape the onion béchamel into a medium bowl and stir in the bacon, parsley, 2 tablespoons of the cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the crushed pepper. Let the filling cool completely.

In a large bowl, mix the rice with the beaten egg and the 2 egg yolks until evenly coated. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of grana padano cheese until the rice becomes sticky.

Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Scoop 3 packed tablespoons of the rice mixture into one moistened hand and press it into a 3 1/2-inch round. Scoop 2 teaspoons of the cooled filling into the center and wrap the rice around it, pressing to form a tight ball. Transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining rice mixture and filling to make 14 arancini.

Place the breadcrumbs and the remaining 1 cup of flour in 2 separate shallow bowls. In another shallow bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Dust the arancini with flour, tapping off the excess. Roll them in the beaten egg whites and then in the breadcrumbs. Transfer the arancini to the baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, until firm, about 1 hour.    In a large saucepan, heat 2 inches of canola oil to 350°. Add half of the arancini to the hot oil and fry over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until golden and heated through, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining arancini. Pile the arancini on plates or a platter, garnish with grated grana padano.

Ingredients for the black truffle aioli:

  • 1 cup, Dukes mayo
  • 1 tablespoon, black truffle paste
  • ½ cup, Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves, minced garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoon, lemon juice
  • 1 tsp, freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch, Kosher salt

Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix until incorporated.  Transfer into an airtight container, refrigerate and store for up to 2 weeks.
