Method
Prepare the rice :
Finely slice the mushrooms.
Sauté in a lightly oiled pan with a little salt until the liquid evaporates. Set aside.
Combine the water, mushroom stock cube, margarine, oil, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Add the rice and cook for 8-10 minutes over medium heat.
When the rice is cooked, add the sautéed mushrooms and spread out in a dish.
Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Unwrap the plant-based Boursin and form 10 balls of 15g. Place in a container in the refrigerator.
Prepare the plant-based mayonnaise :
Combine the soy milk, vinegar, mustard, and salt in a measuring jug and blend with an immersion blender.
Add the chervil oil little by little until thickened.
Transfer to a baby bottle.
Ps: To prepare the chervil oil, mix 25g of previously blanched chervil with 10cl of neutral oil and a little salt. Strain the oil through a strainer and set aside.
Prepare the arancini :
When the rice has cooled, form into 70-75g portions.
Insert the Boursin balls into the center and close the rice. Shape into balls with your hands.
In two plates, place a mixture of flour, water, and salt (pancake batter texture) on one plate, and the breadcrumbs on the other.
Roll the filled rice balls in the flour/water mixture, then in the breadcrumbs.
Fry for 3-4 minutes in the deep fryer at 180°C.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Spread a dot of chervil plant-based mayonnaise on the arancini and decorate with a chervil leaf. Enjoy.
