Sicilian Rice Balls, or "arancini," are a beloved Italian street food hailing from Sicily. These golden, crispy delights are typically made by shaping creamy risotto rice into balls or cones, stuffing them with flavorful fillings like mozzarella, ragù (a meat-based sauce), or peas, then coating them in breadcrumbs and deep-frying until crisp. While rich in carbohydrates from the rice and protein from fillings like cheese and meat, they are also calorie-dense due to frying. Variations sometimes include healthier baked versions or fillings with vegetables for added nutrients. Arancini offer a satisfying combination of textures and flavors, making them a popular comfort food. Enjoy them in moderation as an indulgent treat that highlights the richness of Italian culinary tradition.
