Arancine siciliane
Arancine are a specialty of Sicilian cuisine. Arancine in western Sicily are round shaped and stuffed with ragu, while in the eastern part of the island they are called arancini and have a conical shape filled with butter (mozzarella, ham, butter). Here we propose the first of the two versions.
