Arancini are one of the most delectable Italian appetizers—fried balls of risotto, cheese, ragu, and vegetables.

For the uninitiated, arancini are a Sicilian snack of rice balls rolled in breadcrumbs and deep fried until crisp and golden. Like a Hostess cake, arancini usually contain a delicious filling, though of the savory variety. Cut one open and you’ll likely find a little treasure of ground meat, cheese or vegetables.
