I've seen these (round ones) at my grocery store's deli/prepared food section and I had no idea there was something other than rice in the middle! I've never tried them before, you make me want to! BEAUTIFUL photographs Steve

[ResurgenceRecords]

Defnitely making them while im in quarantine. Prayers for Italy and the world.

[sambroyd]

What a marvellous idea. Who doesn't like ragu, with peas and rice anyway, with the added cheese and deep fried crumb, oooo, gotta make these 👍

[fenriswolf]

Made some yesterday with my leftover wild mushroom and garlic risoto. Trust me when I say use next day risoto ! Delicious !

[sarabennett]

wow this is the most detailed cooking demo of arancini I have ever watched!

[Haupialani]

I had these on the island of Capri. I was there maybe five years or so ago and was staying at a hotel. It was getting late so I stopped by a little shop and asked for this, this, and that. Something to snack on later. Luckily, one of the things I got was an arancino. It was so perfect for a late evening snack. Sitting on the patio eating it with a bottle of Pellegrino was one of the best memories for me. Also had suppli in another part of the country when I visited at a later time. Those were also delicious. Every time I make them I always think of Italy.

I'm from Italy but now I live in California and I'm missing arancini so much! You did a very good job with the arancini Steve! I'll definitely try to make them soon!

[jonathanstranovsky]

There is nothing better then going to a country and learning to cook the way they have done for hundreds of years, .. plus.
My great grandfather left his home town ''Fiumefreddo di Sicilia'' in 1909 and come to Australia.
Thank you very much Steve.

Montalbano made me aware of this food. Delicious!!!

[wkdsales]

Hi Steve I'm going to Calabria next door to Sicily in May. I go every year and the various arancini form a staple part of my lunch there... With a few pasticceria dolce washed down with a cappuccino... Amazing. The food is so good there especially the seafood...

[alexbraun]

Commissario Montalbano is always eating them...that's why I am here...and I love them! :)

[mariadixon]

I am Italian and they look amazing good job.

[gregoryschwarz]

Exactly what I remember from when I was in Catania, Sicily. Every time is see Arrancini on the menu I have to get it. The restaurants always seem to over complicate things. Looking forward to trying this recipe. Thank You!

[noblehousefoundation]

steve you make then most Authentic I have found on You tube! Thank you !

[juliedee]

Steve, I am married to a Sicilian, and the first time I had these was at a Sicilian restaurant in Brooklyn, his home town. I have made these based on your method, and they came out just like I'm used to. Thank you for this. And I made then conical, which also came out just perfect. Bravo.

[tlhill]

My fiancée is Sicilian. He will love this! (So will this Irish foodie!) Thanks so much!

[kevinmarshall]

I lived in Sicily for three years. I took a cooking class for making Arancini, but since leaving, I somehow lost the recipe. This is very similar if I recall and I've wanted to put my hands on a good recipe. Can't wait to try these!

[jon_co]

What a beautiful kitchen and courtyard! Gotta try these; they look scrumptious!

[archielangley]

I've never heard of this, but I'm glad I have! It looks so nice I love dishes like this, thanks Steve you never disappoint.
