Heat two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
Add the arborio rice (do not rinse it) and stir to coat with the onion and garlic, letting the rice become slightly translucent.
Season with a teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley, then mix well.
Add two tablespoons of unsalted butter, a little chicken broth, and a few teaspoons of tomato paste, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat, cover, and cook for about 25 minutes until the rice is tender and the broth absorbed.
Once cooked, stir in grated parmesan cheese thoroughly.
Spread the rice on a baking sheet and let it cool for about 10 minutes until firm enough to shape.
Prepare three bowls: season flour with salt and pepper in the first, beat two eggs in the second, and place panko breadcrumbs in the third.
Cut the mozzarella into small cubes to use as the filling for the arancini.
