Sicilian arancini are one of the most famous and beloved dishes of Sicilian cuisine. These delicious rice spheres, crisp on the outside and with a soft, flavorful center, represent a true symbol of the island's gastronomic culture. Making them at home takes a little time, but the final result will be truly rewarding!
Every product available on the marketplace is listed and sold by a partner seller indicated on the product page. The platform acts as a metasearch/marketplace: it facilitates discovery and checkout, but the sale is carried out by the seller, who becomes the party responsible for the transaction.
Shipping is handled directly by the seller partner. The package leaves the seller's warehouse, or its logistics network, and is handed over to the carrier. This model enables more efficient deliveries and ensures that order management is handled by those who actually have the product available.
On the product page you will find ingredients, allergens and nutritional information according to the data provided by the seller or manufacturer, i.e. the official label. If you have allergies or intolerances, we recommend that you carefully check the product page before purchasing and contact the seller with any specific questions.
The platform was created to promote and make Italian food Made in Italy more accessible. We select e-commerce food sellers with coherent catalogs and transparent information. Each product is linked to an identifiable seller and a complete information sheet: we want buying here to mean buying with confidence.

Cook the rice in the vegetable broth, adding a pinch of salt. When the broth has almost been completely absorbed, add the butter, Parmigiano, and saffron dissolved in a little hot broth. Mix well to obtain creamy rice, then spread it on a baking tray and let it cool completely.
In a pan, sauté the onion, carrot, and celery finely chopped with olive oil. Add the ground meat and brown it. Deglaze with the red wine and let evaporate. Add the tomato passata, peas, a pinch of salt and pepper, then simmer for about 30 minutes. Let the ragù cool before using it as a filling.
Take a handful of rice and shape it in the palm of your hand to form a hollow. Add a spoonful of ragù and, if you like, a cube of mozzarella for a stretchy center. Close the rice around the filling, forming a ball or a cone shape, typical of eastern Sicily.
Coat each arancino first in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs, making sure it is well covered. Fry the arancini in plenty of hot oil until they become golden and crisp. Drain them on paper towels.
Serve the arancini hot to best appreciate the contrast between the crispy outside and the soft filling.
