I'm so thrilled you posted this recipe. My neighbors are Italian and they brought this dish over and I loooved it. I'm so thrilled now that I have your recipe I will be able to make this myself now. It's so tasty and doesn't seem too difficult to make. Thank you so much for sharing your videos and recipe Vincenzo.
When I was in the Navy I was stationed at Sigonella, near Catania. The ararcini were more cone shaped but the way you make them is the way that I remember them.
i was stationed there too. there was a little vendor that used to be on NAS 2 near to the gate adn they had the cone shaped Arancini. and the Restaurant Medusa across from the base had them at one point. loved that the navy gave people such great experiences with different cultures.
There are many beautiful cities to visit in Sicily, but one l did enjoy a lot last time I was there is Cefalù. A beautiful coastal town with lovely food.
hello from British Columbia , Canada . My nanno brought his family here , from Montelepre in 1955 . I miss my grandparents very much , but smile when I see videos like this ,because I would be there at their home , every Sunday for the day . All this food reminds me of happy times spent with them . much love to you for posting this video.
My parents were from Trapani and I loved visiting there. I made Arancini with my mom as a kid and now that they have passed, so has the recipe. Yours is the closest to my mom's I have seen. I can not wait to make them for the family for Christmas. Thank you
true...fun fact..Italy invented the Cookbook..also Italy invented using Silverware...before that they used their hands to eat...Also, Italy invented using garnishes to make dishes pretty.. Yes, good food and a relaxed and beautiful presentation are very important to Italians
My favorite place in Sicily is the Provence of Catania. Cipollini Catanesi, and Aranchini are my favorite snacks. Pair those with a cappuccino fredo on a hot summer morning and you got yourself a winning combo.
We lived in Sicily for 3 years, and every day was a gift. Our favorite place to go was a beach called fontana bianco. We also loved the farmers' market in Scordia. Loved the arancini recipe. My children loved them.
I'm from Australia and I was in Sicily this June. Many great places but my favourite is the the ancient Greek Theatre of Taormina. Such an historic site with amazing views over the Calabrian Coast, the Ionian Coast and Cone of Etna. The way the the natural scenery is integrated with the architecture makes it truly special. Didn't know that arancini is originally from Sicily. It is very popular in Oz.
They look delicious! I’m going to try this even though I have failed in the past! My mother is from Rafadali, and I love Sicilia. I took my grandson to Italy and he loved arancini!
i am calabrese but i been to scicily in the 90s castellamare del golfo province of trapani...i loved it.. thans vincenzo im gonna go make rice balls now cheers
My Sicilian mamma never put celery or carrots in her arancini . She also put some egg into the rice to help the rice stick better but the rest is spot on. Looks delicious. Makes me hungry.🤗b
Excellent video! Arancini is my favorite and the best arancini i ever had was on the boat ride from Calabria to Sicily. My favorite part of Italy is Sicily.
I'm glad you enjoyed the arancini video! Sicily is indeed a wonderful region with a rich culinary tradition, and arancini are a delightful part of it. It must have been a memorable experience to enjoy arancini on a boat ride from Calabria to Sicily. The unique flavors of Sicilian cuisine make it a favorite for many. If you have any more questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹🍽️😊
*****, I have a Delonghi fryer, a spectacular Italian machine for frying that leaves no odor in the house because of a carbon filter incorporated. The arancini and any other food that you want to fry come out so crispy a delicious. Try a frittura di verdura mista o pesce fritto misto, Madonna che bonta!
Vincenzo, we are making these today in Mount Vernon, OH, USA, and thinking of our two favorite places in Sicily: Taormina and my grandparents' birthplace, Modica! Thanks for the beautiful, helpful video!
Great demonstration and they look so yummy. I use to buy these for my kids 14 years ago for $1.50 each as a snack after school at the deli . Then our neighborhood gentrified and the price went up to $3.50 each a few years after. So we haven't eaten one in a long time. I'll have to surprise my teen boys with these. Anyone freeze and reheat these? They would make excellent school lunches if so.
Yup... I was raised in Park Slop B'klyn and we use to buy these at the corner Bodega for a $1.25. I thought it was a Spanish thing. Guess not. Either way, they war always delicious!
Loved your Arancini video. Reminded me of my Sicilian mother-in-law's recipe. I haven't made them in quite awhile. Need to do so very soon! Castellammare del Golfo and Scopello are beliissimi!
@@howardbarlow578 you got time. Try Christmas. Shape them in the style of a Christmas tree aka triangle. My mom made this once a year and it was always at Christmas time. Great memories.
My favorite small town is Cefalu. It is a beautiful place, high up on a cliff so that as you approach from Palermo, you'll see the sea, sky, and the city perched above. It does has roadways down to the beach where the fisherman also keep their boats ashore. Definitely walk down to the beach to enjoy a different perspective. It is a spectacular view that you will never forget it's beauty! I visited 37 years ago, I truly hope that it has not changed! That day, while walking down to the beach, I bought a wooden plaque for my mother. Which hangs in her kitchen still today. It says.... "Ci son piu fiori nel mi cuore per mia madre che in tutti gli giardini." Which in English says, "There are more flowers in my heart for my mother than in all the gardens." At the time my US Navy ship was stationed in Gaeta Italy which is another must see destination! That is where I first had Arrancini. Walking along the water front road there used to be a place called Bar Hermes. They had great ice cream and granitas. I often got a sausage sandwich there from the small tavola caldo. This occasion I bought Arrancini and walked down the street eating it from the paper it was served on. No mess and was a beautiful, delicious, portable food. I loved them! I thank you for the recipe and of course, I liked and Subscribed! Mille grazie e ciao. 🤠
Hi David, thank you so much for sharing! I think too Cefalù is a very nice place, I hope you can come back there one day! ❤️ thank you for the subscription
Arancine are only made in Sicily. I advice you to take them only in Sicily. Even if they do them in Naples also, but they call them pall e ris (rice balls).
My father is from Linguaglossa, Sicily Italy and my mother is from Riposto, Sicily, Italy. I have been to Italy a lot even though I was born in Syracuse, NY in America. I love Orancini because they are Sicilian
We have a holiday house in Castiglione di Sicilia .One year I helped the neighbour with the olive picking and we took the olives to the mill in Linguaglossa. We are often there on out way for some spectacular walks on the north slopes of Mt Etna sometimes getting up at 4am so that by the time we are up on the mount we can watch the sun rising over the Calabrian mountains ...weather permitting. We should be there now but because of the pandemic our flights were cancelled.
That is Arancini perfection my friend. That is exactly the way I make it except for the fact that I have to use gluten free bread crumbs now and I don't have access to the Mutti tomatoes. Wow you did an incredible job with this.
this is SO much better than the other video.. much more agreeable, concise & by far better presentation.. Great recipe as well; more developed flavor levels than a couple other ones I looked at.
whenever I go in Italy to see my Italian family, I get so excited to eat arancini from the shop outside the port terminal in Messina (Imbarco Traghetti Caronte di Messina). I really recommend you to go there if you go to messina
The town of Agrigento is still in my mind after a school trip in there. I saw the valley of gods (basically an ancient shopping center for prayers). But i went to restaurant where they made the best tagliatelle with lamb meat cream sauce.
@@moona202 he just appreciate every comment in his channel maybe, that's why he keep spamming "love features" 😁. But for original recipe use fresh risotto that already chilled in fridge.
Ciao amico! 😄 Grazie per il tuo sostegno e per apprezzare i sapori autentici della mia Sicilia natale. Spero che le mie ricette ti portino un po' di nostalgia e ti facciano sentire più vicino a casa. Un abbraccio dall'Australia! 🌍🇮🇹🇦🇺
In real sicilian arancini we use only rice and saffron and sometimes a little bit of cheese like pecorino. Also we don't use eggs but a batter of water, flour and salt. PS we don't use mozzarella because it has too much water, there are a lot of other cheese we use :)
These look like the napoletan arancini... you are right the sicilian arancini is from rice and saffron to give a very arromatic rice...and yes mozzarella should be replaced with another soft cheese like caccio cavallo that does not have a high water content... they look good though...i'm sure they're tasty!!
According to my grandparents who were from Palermo, every family had their own version of recipes.. mostly went by what you could grow or afford to buy. So please don't say "real" Sicilian anything. It sounds demeaning, in a time where we should be more positive and encouraging
Thanks for sharing! 😄 It's amazing how food traditions can vary even within the same country. Sicilian arancini are definitely special, and I'm glad you appreciate the unique flavors and ingredients. Enjoy exploring the rich culinary heritage of Sicilia! 🌄🍽️
Ribera is where my family is from I have been there 4 times Vincenzo. My brother is named after my nonno Vincenzo but we call him Enzo. My name is Domenico Moscato and Arancini is my favorite food ever. Thank you can't wait to make these.
Enjoyed your video. Great recipe. Love İtalian cuisine, especially sicilian one. İ've never been to Sicilia but i was in Pantelleria island. Tasted the arancini & gnam gnam it's really good. Mouth watering snack. Thank you for sharing.
Hi! Thank you too for watching this video 🙏😍 I'm in love with arancini too, they're so delicious. And sicily is really amazing! There are a lot of beautiful places there 😍
My Sicilian mother made these every Christmas but shaped them into a triangle to represent a Christmas tree. She died 5 years ago this month. You brought back happy memories. Thank you.
Chris Wright yes she is/was. Born and bred. I didn’t make it clear. The reference to the Christmas tree was the fact that she made this every Christmas. I was imparting a memory I hadn’t made explicit.
love your recipe, so good. years ago I worked with Francis Coppola in Italia we were in Roma 5 months a month in Mondello a month in Taormina such a special time in my life
Thanks for the arinchini demo. We just got back from Sicily and enjoyed arinchini in Erice, Poleromo and Villa Roma de Casallle. Loved them everywhere.
I love Sicily, Modica and Ragusa are my favorite places. Somehow I never tried the Arancini when I was there because I didn't know what it was but I'm loving it now and just made some for my block party, everyone loved it. Thank you for the post, it's very helpful.
Very nice. I will try this. I like that the rice is cooked with some sauce. My family only added butter to the rice after it was cooked and refrigerated the night before. My Grandparents and Great Aunt's are from Palermo. ♥️
Love the creativity! 🍚🌟 Using leftover risotto for rice balls is a fantastic idea. It adds a delicious twist to the traditional recipe. Let me know if you have any other cooking hacks to share!
You can get these in most pizzeria near me, but they are dry, flavorless, and overcooked. Thanks for making these Vincenzo. I might just have to make them now that I know the right way.
I'm so thrilled you posted this recipe. My neighbors are Italian and they brought this dish over and I loooved it. I'm so thrilled now that I have your recipe I will be able to make this myself now. It's so tasty and doesn't seem too difficult to make. Thank you so much for sharing your videos and recipe Vincenzo.

They’re sooo good 😋
I was stationed there in 2000-2002. I hear it's changed a lot since then. I miss the arancini but also the panini trucks in Catania.
i was stationed there too. there was a little vendor that used to be on NAS 2 near to the gate adn they had the cone shaped Arancini. and the Restaurant Medusa across from the base had them at one point. loved that the navy gave people such great experiences with different cultures.
@@mrs.littleneko5958 That must have been after I left, otherwise I would have been eating them every day lol. I left in 2002
@@christophermaggard6969 i was there in 2008 and i had them all the time. But the best ones were in Catania for sure

Once ended up there on a very stormy winter day - found this cute family run ristorante not far from the main church - gorgeous food.

Bravo Maestro Vincenzo.
When I went to Sicily, Arancini had to be my favorite food there. Just an amazing place and food.
Arancini is absolutely gorgeous ❤️😍 wow

I did this arancini today, a real big success!!! Delicious!!!
Bravo! i'm going to try this One of my favorite places in Sicily is Racalmuto!
I love Taormina and Agrigento. Sicilian food is absolutely fresh and delicious....a step above the Italian food you get from the mainland
The town of Agrigento is still in my mind after a school trip in there. I saw the valley of gods (basically an ancient shopping center for prayers). But i went to restaurant where they made the best tagliatelle with lamb meat cream sauce.

If I can’t find Mutti tomato paste, can I use regular tomato paste as a substitute? Maybe the Mutti brand will be more flavorful. 🤷🏿♀️
Of course you can use the tomato paste you want
Taormina, where we lived for Quasi four years, , Orancini and a cappocini and watch the world go by, oh! happy memories, Les and Patricia.

i love arancini... i haven't been able to eat one since i moved to London... Ur video helped a lot.... thank you
love your recipe, so good. years ago I worked with Francis Coppola in Italia we were in Roma 5 months a month in Mondello a month in Taormina such a special time in my life
Wow 😍 how many of these delicious arancini did you eat in Taormina? Hehe 😁🤪
Mmmmmm delicioso! My family all came from Naples Italy...But we were brought up making Arancini the Sicilian way, that's best way, so good!
Thanks for the arinchini demo. We just got back from Sicily and enjoyed arinchini in Erice, Poleromo and Villa Roma de Casallle. Loved them everywhere.
Sicily is by far my favorite region of Italy. I have been to every part of the Island and must say my favorite place is Agrigento followed by Palermo.
oh wow 😍 Sicily is an amazing region, and the food there is to die for 🤤
@@vincenzosplate Where in Italy are you from?
I love Sicily, Modica and Ragusa are my favorite places. Somehow I never tried the Arancini when I was there because I didn't know what it was but I'm loving it now and just made some for my block party, everyone loved it. Thank you for the post, it's very helpful.
Oh my goodness that is the most delicious looking thing I have ever seen!
Very nice. I will try this. I like that the rice is cooked with some sauce. My family only added butter to the rice after it was cooked and refrigerated the night before. My Grandparents and Great Aunt's are from Palermo. ♥️
Hi Debra! Try this recipe and you won’t regret it 😋 in this way they are much better
Vincenzo this looks amazing!!! I have been exposed to a lot of Italian food but have never heard or tried this. Thank you for sharing this
Agrinento! thanks for this great demo. I like to use my leftover risotto for the rice balls.
Love the creativity! 🍚🌟 Using leftover risotto for rice balls is a fantastic idea. It adds a delicious twist to the traditional recipe. Let me know if you have any other cooking hacks to share!
I made these for my amici Siciliano ! He lives them! They were great! Thanks for the video!
Love Arancini! They look amazing! Can't wait to try the recipe, thank you for the video!
Hey Vincenzo. I've made these a couple of times now... Excellent. Keep up the good work friend.
Hi Michael! I’m sure they were delicious 😋
You can get these in most pizzeria near me, but they are dry, flavorless, and overcooked. Thanks for making these Vincenzo. I might just have to make them now that I know the right way.
