Instructions:

Finely dice the celery. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter, sauté onion until translucent. Add turkey and minced meat, fry briefly. Add celery and parsley and sauté. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of chili spice.

Add 2 tbsp of paradeis pulp and extinguish with white wine, simmer briefly on low heat. Add the stock and the peas. Then add the peas in the same way and steam at low temperature with the lid closed.

Make round grain rice in salted water. Towards the end of the cooking time, stir in saffron. The long grain rice should be nice and grainy. Stir 2 tbsp butter and Parmesan into the hot long-grain rice. Cool, then stir in 1 egg.

Mix minced basil and remaining parsley into the minced rice and simmer a tiny bit. Season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Form tangerine-sized balls from the cooled long-grain rice. Form a bulge in the center with your finger and put 1 tbsp of the ragout inside. Close the opening with the long grain rice. Coat rice balls in flour, egg and bread crumbs. Fry rice balls in hot clarified butter until crispy, then drain on paper towels.

Arrange rice balls with the remaining ragout on plates, garnish with bay leaves.

Tip: Instead of clarified butter, you can also use butter in most cases.
