Arancini or Rice balls!
It is one of the most popular Sicilian recipe.
And you know I arrive from Sicily, my lovely island!
Arancini arrive from 10th century in Sicily, to period of Arabian domination and we suppose that they brought the arancini in Sicily.
It is a rice ball stuffed with cheese or ragu' or beef (you can add what you prefer), and coated with bread crumbs, and deep fried.
Here are the ingredients and the steps. You can find the video recipe in my Instagram page (my profile - highlights) or in my YouTube channel.
