Preparation

For the risotto:
- Bring the water to the boil then whisk in the KNORR Paste Bouillon.
- Peel and dice the onions.
- Heat the oil then add the onions and cook for 2-3 min. Add the rice and cook for a further 2-3 min.
- Add ¼ of the bouillon and cook until the rice has absorbed the liquid then repeat until the rice has softened but still has bite.
- Allow to cool until needed.
For the filling:
- Grill or chargrill the corn on the cob until slightly charred looking then remove and allow to cool.
- Stand the corn on its end then cut the kernels from the cob. Separate the kernels.
- Dice the jalapenos and add to the sweetcorn.
For the arancini:
- Mix the breadcrumbs and semolina together then place into a shallow tray. Crack the eggs and lightly beat then pour into a separate shallow tray and pour the flour into another shallow tray.

- Take roughly 40g balls of the rice and roll then dip into the flour then egg and finally the breadcrumbs ensuring the rice is completely covered.
- Chill until needed.
