Super Greens Arancini
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups Brown Rice, cooked
- 1 package Tommy’s Super Greens
- 1/2 cup Quinoa, cooked
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup Asiago Cheese
- 1 1/2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Parmesan Cheese, to garnish
- Marinara Sauce, as desired for dipping
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 45 min
This Recipe is: Gluten Free, Nut Free, Vegetarian
Cuisine Type: Italian, Mediterranean
Directions:
- This recipe is ideal for times when you have leftover cooked rice, quinoa, or Tommy’s Super Greens. Preheat your oven to 350F.
- If not using leftovers, prepare the appropriate amounts of brown rice and quinoa and set both aside to cool slightly once cooked. Whole Foods has a guide for cooking brown rice and a guide for cooking quinoa, if you need help.
- Prepare Tommy’s Super Greens according to the instructions on the package and set aside at room temperature to cool slightly.
- To prepare, combine the rice, Tommy’s Super Greens, quinoa, eggs, and asiago cheese in a bowl and mix well until well combined — about 1 minute.
- Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Form the ariancini mixture into golf-ball-sized pieces and place evenly on the baking sheet. Bake the arancini until they’ve reached an internal temperature of 180F and are crispy on the outside.
- Serve immediately on a bed of warm marinara with a light sprinkle of parmesan cheese. These also pair well with a simple salad dressed with olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon. Delicious!
