Best Arancini In Gulshan 2

The traditional Arancini comes in two main variants: the first is perfectly round in shape filled with a Ragu sauce of meat, mozzarella and peas; the second is called al Burro (“with butter”) and has a longer, pear-like shape and is filled with diced mozzarella and prosciutto and grated cheese. In the Sicilian city of Catania, the Arancino alla Norma (with eggplant) and a version with Bronte pistachios are among the most popular. In other regions the fillings might include mushrooms, sausage, gorgonzola, chicken, swordfish and even squid ink.

Throughout Southern Italy, it’s quite common to find street vendors who sell Arancini from carts – still warm and dripping with oil. For the festival of Saint Lucia, which takes place on December 13th in Palermo, the city fills up with stands, carts and frying kiosks with the aroma of hundreds of Arancini that are prepared for the occasion. For this holiday many even make Arancini in a sweet version, covered with sugar and cacao.
