I've always wanted to make arancini but I was intimidated by a teenage attempt and failure. Arancini, rice balls stuffed with sauce and peas, are one of the best-loved Sicilian snacks and street foods, and they have become increasingly popular throughout Italy and worldwide. Cooking the arancini balls Place the oil in a pan so that when the arancini are added, the oil will cover or nearly cover them. Using a slotted spoon, drop in balls in batches of four until they are cooked through and the outside has turned a deep golden brown.
Steps to make Arancini balls:
- Place the flour in a tray. In a separate tray, add fine breadcrumbs (I use panko flakes or mixture as its crispier!). In a bowl crack the eggs and lightly beat. Set aside the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs.
- Take one large heaped tablespoon of risotto, place in left or right palm. Roll and shape the rice into a half-ball and then take a piece of mozzarella and place it in the centre of the rice ball. Take another heaped tablespoon of rice and place over the mozzarella ball and shape into a ball.
- Roll and coat the risotto ball in the flour, then roll and coat in the egg mixture. Lastly, gently place ball in the breadcrumbs, rolling it around until evenly coated, ensuring it maintains its shape. Transfer to a tray or plate. Continue with the rest of the risotto until it has all been used up.
- In a large pot, add the cooking oil (enough to cover the balls). Let the oil heat up on a medium heat Tip: to test if the oil is hot enough drop a small piece of breadcrumb into the pot, if the breadcrumb sizzles, it’s ready. Place about 3-4 balls into the frying pot at a time and deep fry, turning every few minutes with chopsticks or tongs to cook evenly. Cook until golden brown all over.
- Place and transfer the fried risotto balls onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain off the excess oil. Repeat frying process till all of the risotto balls have been fried. Place fried risotto balls onto a serving plate and lightly sprinkle with some coarse sea salt (optional). Eat immediately while hot and serve with a side salad and condiments like aeoli or mustard.
Arancini are said to have been introduced into Sicily in the tenth century by the Arabs. At this time they were simply known as rice balls; the name arancini was coined due to the resemblance of the balls to the Sicilian orange of the same name. As with most Italian dishes, there is much regional variation when it comes to the filing of arancini. Arancini are delicious, crispy, deep fried Sicilian balls of rice. They have a meat sauce and mozzarella cheese filling and crunchy breadcrumb coating.
