L’arancinotto

Arancini are stuffed rice balls that are dipped in egg, covered with breadcrumbs and fried.  This Sicilian street food has a variety of fillings but the most popular are usually filled with ragù (meat sauce), tomato sauce, mozzarella, and/or peas.

The process to form the rice ball can be time consuming but this handy tool called L’arancinotto makes shaping and filling the balls easy and fast.  Have a look at the video to see how the mold works and you can purchase it here on amazon by clicking the photo:
