About Risotto balls

Risotto Balls, known as Arancini in Italian cuisine, are a delightful snack or appetizer originating from Sicily. These bite-sized treats are made by rolling creamy, cooked risotto into balls, filling them with ingredients like mozzarella, peas, or meat ragù, then coating the balls in breadcrumbs and deep frying them to a crispy golden perfection. While rich in flavor and indulgent in texture, their health aspects depend on preparation. They provide carbohydrates from the rice and protein from fillings like cheese or meat, but traditional deep frying increases calorie and fat content. Opting for air frying or baking can make them a lighter choice. Arancini showcase the art of transforming leftover risotto into a versatile, irresistible creation that balances comfort and culinary heritage. Perfect for entertaining, they’re a satisfying way to enjoy Italian flavors with moderation in mind.
