Methods and Directions

• Arrange the freshly fried arancini on a suitable serving plate, with the side salad placed beside it.

• Prepare the risotto all’onda. Season well.
• Divide the risotto in half and set each half into an insert that is lined with plastic film. Tap the bottom of the insert to ensure the risotto is evenly spread out. The final depth of the risotto should be 1 cm. Adjust the size of the tray to achieve this.
• Cool the risotto down as per SFSMS and hold under refrigeration until fully set.
• When set, arrange the smoked salmon slices evenly over one of the rice mixtures.
• Remove the other rice mixture and invert onto the rice and smoked salmon mixture.
• Press firmly and evenly. Return to the chiller to set once again.
• When set, turn out the rice onto a cutting surface. Use a long slicing knife that is greased with extra virgin olive oil to make pieces that are 2 cm x 4 cm / 50 g each.
• Place the pieces onto a tray and return to the chiller.
