Add a photoArancini means "little oranges" in Sicilian and they can be found all over Palermo. Cooked and flavored Arborio rice is formed around a filling of tomato, meat and peas, coated in breadcrumbs and fried until golden brown. When I make them they're about the size of a baseball,but you can make them slightly smaller. . Soft and crispy at the same time,they are a savory feast for the mouth.

- To prepare:
- Place 3 tablespoons of prepared rice onto the palm of one hand, and flatten out. Place 2 tablespoon of meat filling on top of flatten rice, then another flattens pat of rice on top of filling.
- Very gently press the rice down over the meat, cupping your hand to form a ball. (Note: If your hands become sticky at any point dip them again into water.)
- Gently roll the arencini into a ball shape. Dip the arencini into flour, then eggs,then roll very well in breadcrumbs.
- Heat fryer to 350 and gently fry the arencini until golden in color.Drain on paper towels.
