Meryl Natow’s Mealworm Arancini

Meryl Natow’s Mealworm Arancini is a creative, protein-packed twist on the classic Italian rice balls. Creamy risotto is mixed with roasted mealworms, rolled into bite-sized balls, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried until golden and crispy. This dish offers a delightful contrast of creamy interior and crunchy exterior, making it perfect for adventurous eaters and fans of sustainable edible insect cuisine. 

Cooking Method

 

  1. Preheat oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked risotto, roasted mealworms, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Shape the mixture into small balls (about 1–2 inches in diameter).
  4. Dip each ball into the beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
  5. Fry the arancini in hot oil for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, optionally with marinara or aioli dipping sauce.
