Frapi07 explain to me what that is " Arancini" sounds good, I really have to try it. My neighbor is Italian maybe she can prepare it.
Deep-fried rice balls. Contents can vary. The old-school version is similar to bolognese, i.e. meat + peas and tomato sauce. But there are countless possibilities, my mother adds mozzarella, for example.
Not every Italian can make it ^^ It's not like pasta xD It has to come from Sicily. Your neighbor will definitely know the arancini, but I don't know if she prepares them As mentioned before, you have to invest a little time in it. Starting with the rice, it makes a difference to the taste whether it has been rested or not. Every recipe (at least those in Italian) also stipulates that you prepare the rice a day in advance.
Otherwise, I would recommend this video, it's the best I could find.

I asked my neighbor and the first thing she said was that it comes from Sicily and she knows it, but she hasn't made it herself yet. She comes from near Lecce, by the way. She also said that you have to be careful with rice.
Yes, I would die of envy. But I wouldn't be jealous of you, but of your partner I'll just tell you this much: I never asked for a cake for my birthday, but arancini instead It's my favorite dish (the ones with the tomato sauce + peas).
I could make them myself, but a) it's very time-consuming (rice is always prepared 1 day in advance, for example) and b) if you do make them, you'll need more and it's not worth the effort for one person. In any case, fresh arancinis, which you eat in Sicily, taste different. It's also down to the ingredients. But let me put it this way: my mother's weren't bad and the fact that we don't have to drive 2,000+ km is better than nothing. You'll hardly find a place in Germany that prepares them fresh. They are usually frozen. They're not worth it financially or in terms of taste. There's an Italian company that tours all over Germany. They are then at Munich Central Station for 4 weeks, then Nuremberg, Frankfurt etc. They charged 5!!! € for ONE Arancina. That's too much even for me because, as I said, it's frozen food.
I didn't know they were so complicated to make. My favorite Italian comes from Sicily and prepares everything fresh. It takes a while, but he doesn't miss out on it. He is a passionate chef who also sings in the kitchen. People are happy to wait because they get quality. I ask him about the arancinis. If he makes them himself, I'll be there.
Then you should definitely go on vacation to Sicily if the delicious little things come from there and taste worlds better than what you can find here. I'll have a look at the video you've put up.

Right, it's a regional "fast food" You know it because it's also known nationally (something like meatballs or meat loaf), you can buy it everywhere (I even bought it in a supermarket in Tuscany once), but you'll only get fresh arancini from a Sicilian^^. It's the same as if you ask a Sicilian for polenta xD The Sicilian will then feel rather offended and show you what wonderful dishes Sicily has to offer There are quite a few Bread with spleen (you can google it xD) or cannolo siciliano (dough rolls filled with ricotta). Again, you can only get the really good ones in Sicily, because the ricotta is fresh and they know how to make it
Lecce is also southern Italy, but it is Puglia and has its own dishes. But I'd be lying if I said I knew them. I just googled it and I don't know anything xD
Haha, yes, if you have pets, you have to be careful But there's always a trick against that: put a cloth on it and close the door and don't put it in the fridge! Rice must be at room temperature
If you want to make it yourself, I would highly recommend this video. It's local and you can always play it safe

boha that's a stroke of luck We also have the opportunity to buy arancini here in the city (many Sicilians live here, some are also my relatives lol), but as often mentioned, it's frozen. So nothing is fresh and you can taste it - it's a bit like burgers. What's more, the price for this quality is really exorbitant.
boha that's a lucky shot We also have the opportunity to buy arancini here in town (lots of Sicilians live here, some are my relatives too lol), but as often mentioned it's frozen stuff. So nothing is fresh and you can taste it - it's a bit like burgers. What's more, the price for this quality is really exorbitant.
I got my arancini as a gift from a colleague. She buys them in bulk from an Italian bakery because she sells them herself. They cost 2.50 euros each in the bakery. You make a mistake because of the size and think you can safely eat four or five. I was already full after two. But I also think they are probably those frozen pieces. Still very tasty, even though I'm really looking forward to the "real" ones.
