Arancini

Arancini are traditional Italian rice balls originating from Sicily, typically made by shaping leftover risotto into spheres, stuffing them with ingredients like cheese, meat, or peas, then coating them with breadcrumbs. They are deep-fried until golden and crispy on the outside, with a warm, flavorful interior. Arancini are enjoyed as street food or appetizers, offering a satisfying combination of crunchy exterior and savory filling. Their rich, comforting flavor and versatile fillings make them popular across Italy and internationally.
