To prepare the Arancini alla Nduja , start by boiling water in a saucepan with the stock cube.
When it boils, cook the rice for 14/15 minutes.
After the cooking time, put the cooking water aside in a glass and drain the rice.
In the glass with the cooking water set aside, dissolve the saffron; put it in the pot and stir until the rice turns completely yellow.
Finally add the butter and mix until it is completely melted.
Pour all the rice into a tray, cover it with plastic wrap and let it cool for a couple of hours.
When the rice has cooled, we can proceed with the creation of the Arancini alla Nduja .
With your hands, take a little rice and insert a spoonful of previously cooked tomato sauce and a teaspoon of nduja in the center.
Close the arancino with more rice and form a ball; pass it first in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs.
Do the same with all the others.
Heat plenty of seed oil in a saucepan; when it has reached temperature, fry one arancino at a time.
Once cooked, remove it from the oil with the help of a slotted spoon.Fry all the arancini.
Now you can enjoy your Nduja Arancini !
