When I was in the Navy I was stationed at Sigonella, near Catania. The ararcini were more cone shaped but the way you make them is the way that I remember them.
i was stationed there too. there was a little vendor that used to be on NAS 2 near to the gate adn they had the cone shaped Arancini. and the Restaurant Medusa across from the base had them at one point. loved that the navy gave people such great experiences with different cultures.
hello from British Columbia , Canada . My nanno brought his family here , from Montelepre in 1955 . I miss my grandparents very much , but smile when I see videos like this ,because I would be there at their home , every Sunday for the day . All this food reminds me of happy times spent with them . much love to you for posting this video.
I'm so thrilled you posted this recipe. My neighbors are Italian and they brought this dish over and I loooved it. I'm so thrilled now that I have your recipe I will be able to make this myself now. It's so tasty and doesn't seem too difficult to make. Thank you so much for sharing your videos and recipe Vincenzo.
There are many beautiful cities to visit in Sicily, but one l did enjoy a lot last time I was there is Cefalù. A beautiful coastal town with lovely food.
My Sicilian mamma never put celery or carrots in her arancini . She also put some egg into the rice to help the rice stick better but the rest is spot on. Looks delicious. Makes me hungry.🤗b
We lived in Sicily for 3 years, and every day was a gift. Our favorite place to go was a beach called fontana bianco. We also loved the farmers' market in Scordia. Loved the arancini recipe. My children loved them.
My parents were from Trapani and I loved visiting there. I made Arancini with my mom as a kid and now that they have passed, so has the recipe. Yours is the closest to my mom's I have seen. I can not wait to make them for the family for Christmas. Thank you
I'm from Australia and I was in Sicily this June. Many great places but my favourite is the the ancient Greek Theatre of Taormina. Such an historic site with amazing views over the Calabrian Coast, the Ionian Coast and Cone of Etna. The way the the natural scenery is integrated with the architecture makes it truly special. Didn't know that arancini is originally from Sicily. It is very popular in Oz.
My favorite place in Sicily is the Provence of Catania. Cipollini Catanesi, and Aranchini are my favorite snacks. Pair those with a cappuccino fredo on a hot summer morning and you got yourself a winning combo.
My father is from Linguaglossa, Sicily Italy and my mother is from Riposto, Sicily, Italy. I have been to Italy a lot even though I was born in Syracuse, NY in America. I love Orancini because they are Sicilian
We have a holiday house in Castiglione di Sicilia .One year I helped the neighbour with the olive picking and we took the olives to the mill in Linguaglossa. We are often there on out way for some spectacular walks on the north slopes of Mt Etna sometimes getting up at 4am so that by the time we are up on the mount we can watch the sun rising over the Calabrian mountains ...weather permitting. We should be there now but because of the pandemic our flights were cancelled.
i am calabrese but i been to scicily in the 90s castellamare del golfo province of trapani...i loved it.. thans vincenzo im gonna go make rice balls now cheers
They look delicious! I’m going to try this even though I have failed in the past! My mother is from Rafadali, and I love Sicilia. I took my grandson to Italy and he loved arancini!
Great demonstration and they look so yummy. I use to buy these for my kids 14 years ago for $1.50 each as a snack after school at the deli . Then our neighborhood gentrified and the price went up to $3.50 each a few years after. So we haven't eaten one in a long time. I'll have to surprise my teen boys with these. Anyone freeze and reheat these? They would make excellent school lunches if so.
Yup... I was raised in Park Slop B'klyn and we use to buy these at the corner Bodega for a $1.25. I thought it was a Spanish thing. Guess not. Either way, they war always delicious!
My favorite small town is Cefalu. It is a beautiful place, high up on a cliff so that as you approach from Palermo, you'll see the sea, sky, and the city perched above. It does has roadways down to the beach where the fisherman also keep their boats ashore. Definitely walk down to the beach to enjoy a different perspective. It is a spectacular view that you will never forget it's beauty! I visited 37 years ago, I truly hope that it has not changed! That day, while walking down to the beach, I bought a wooden plaque for my mother. Which hangs in her kitchen still today. It says.... "Ci son piu fiori nel mi cuore per mia madre che in tutti gli giardini." Which in English says, "There are more flowers in my heart for my mother than in all the gardens." At the time my US Navy ship was stationed in Gaeta Italy which is another must see destination! That is where I first had Arrancini. Walking along the water front road there used to be a place called Bar Hermes. They had great ice cream and granitas. I often got a sausage sandwich there from the small tavola caldo. This occasion I bought Arrancini and walked down the street eating it from the paper it was served on. No mess and was a beautiful, delicious, portable food. I loved them! I thank you for the recipe and of course, I liked and Subscribed! Mille grazie e ciao. 🤠
Hi David, thank you so much for sharing! I think too Cefalù is a very nice place, I hope you can come back there one day! ❤️ thank you for the subscription
Nothing is better then Sicilian food !! I have family there. I lived there twice . America doesnt have the same products so it will taste way different !!
The town of Agrigento is still in my mind after a school trip in there. I saw the valley of gods (basically an ancient shopping center for prayers). But i went to restaurant where they made the best tagliatelle with lamb meat cream sauce.
true...fun fact..Italy invented the Cookbook..also Italy invented using Silverware...before that they used their hands to eat...Also, Italy invented using garnishes to make dishes pretty.. Yes, good food and a relaxed and beautiful presentation are very important to Italians
My Sicilian mother made these every Christmas but shaped them into a triangle to represent a Christmas tree. She died 5 years ago this month. You brought back happy memories. Thank you.
Chris Wright yes she is/was. Born and bred. I didn’t make it clear. The reference to the Christmas tree was the fact that she made this every Christmas. I was imparting a memory I hadn’t made explicit.
Loved your Arancini video. Reminded me of my Sicilian mother-in-law's recipe. I haven't made them in quite awhile. Need to do so very soon! Castellammare del Golfo and Scopello are beliissimi!
Excellent video! Arancini is my favorite and the best arancini i ever had was on the boat ride from Calabria to Sicily. My favorite part of Italy is Sicily.
I'm glad you enjoyed the arancini video! Sicily is indeed a wonderful region with a rich culinary tradition, and arancini are a delightful part of it. It must have been a memorable experience to enjoy arancini on a boat ride from Calabria to Sicily. The unique flavors of Sicilian cuisine make it a favorite for many. If you have any more questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹🍽️😊
@@howardbarlow578 you got time. Try Christmas. Shape them in the style of a Christmas tree aka triangle. My mom made this once a year and it was always at Christmas time. Great memories.
That is Arancini perfection my friend. That is exactly the way I make it except for the fact that I have to use gluten free bread crumbs now and I don't have access to the Mutti tomatoes. Wow you did an incredible job with this.
whenever I go in Italy to see my Italian family, I get so excited to eat arancini from the shop outside the port terminal in Messina (Imbarco Traghetti Caronte di Messina). I really recommend you to go there if you go to messina
Arancine are only made in Sicily. I advice you to take them only in Sicily. Even if they do them in Naples also, but they call them pall e ris (rice balls).
*****, I have a Delonghi fryer, a spectacular Italian machine for frying that leaves no odor in the house because of a carbon filter incorporated. The arancini and any other food that you want to fry come out so crispy a delicious. Try a frittura di verdura mista o pesce fritto misto, Madonna che bonta!
In real sicilian arancini we use only rice and saffron and sometimes a little bit of cheese like pecorino. Also we don't use eggs but a batter of water, flour and salt. PS we don't use mozzarella because it has too much water, there are a lot of other cheese we use :)
These look like the napoletan arancini... you are right the sicilian arancini is from rice and saffron to give a very arromatic rice...and yes mozzarella should be replaced with another soft cheese like caccio cavallo that does not have a high water content... they look good though...i'm sure they're tasty!!
According to my grandparents who were from Palermo, every family had their own version of recipes.. mostly went by what you could grow or afford to buy. So please don't say "real" Sicilian anything. It sounds demeaning, in a time where we should be more positive and encouraging
Thanks for sharing! 😄 It's amazing how food traditions can vary even within the same country. Sicilian arancini are definitely special, and I'm glad you appreciate the unique flavors and ingredients. Enjoy exploring the rich culinary heritage of Sicilia! 🌄🍽️
Ribera is where my family is from I have been there 4 times Vincenzo. My brother is named after my nonno Vincenzo but we call him Enzo. My name is Domenico Moscato and Arancini is my favorite food ever. Thank you can't wait to make these.
I was born in Palermo, my family is from small town Castronovo di Sicilia, we moved to USA when I was very young I have gone back to visit as we have lots of family there...love Palermo, Mondelo, Syracusa, Taomina, Catania, Agrigento, Monreale, Messina, Enna milazzzo too many to mention Bella Sicilia!! Thanks for receipe I never used basil or celery or carrots in my sauce I will have to try this... I recently bought an Arancini maker (shaper) makes it even easier
Ciao amico! 😄 Grazie per il tuo sostegno e per apprezzare i sapori autentici della mia Sicilia natale. Spero che le mie ricette ti portino un po' di nostalgia e ti facciano sentire più vicino a casa. Un abbraccio dall'Australia! 🌍🇮🇹🇦🇺
Vincenzo, we are making these today in Mount Vernon, OH, USA, and thinking of our two favorite places in Sicily: Taormina and my grandparents' birthplace, Modica! Thanks for the beautiful, helpful video!
@@moona202 he just appreciate every comment in his channel maybe, that's why he keep spamming "love features" 😁. But for original recipe use fresh risotto that already chilled in fridge.
My Nana is from Palermo and my Nanu is from Caltanisetta. My mother married Southerner (Florida) and I joke I was raised on Grits and Lasagna! But I have made Arancini every year since I was in my 30's. This is when I finally forced my mother (who refused to share recipes - is this a Sicilian thing? I think my Nana did it too! lol) to show me how to do it. I am now 72 and have now taught my daughter and my grandchildren how to make Arancini, but I oversee the process, of course. I see a difference in your recipe from mine. My meat mixture, includes cooking onions in olive oil along with ground beef and I add Pecorino Romano and Parsley with the tomato paste. No peas, carrots or onions in it, but it looks good, I may try it! Third, I use Arborio rice too, but for many years my mother didn't tell me what kind to use so I used Long Grain White Rice. I changed to Arborio this year (better late than never) and once cooked I add butter and Pecorino Romano or Parmesan Reggiano to the rice and it makes it easier to create the rice balls. Lastly, I add my meat mixture to the ball and create the ball, I add no cheese. But I do make some rice balls with cheese only. Which my vegetarian granddaughter prefers and she picks the cheese. Also I add pecorino romano and parsley to the bread crumbs and it makes it look beautiful and tasty. I'm not saying this is an Italian version, it's my mother's version. I'm sure this is an Americanized version, but beloved by my family and they won't tolerate any changes (trust me I've tried). I now have a grandson in the Marines who is coming back home after being overseas and he has requested Arancini from his Nana. I will make him our version, but I would love to try your recipe someday soon. Everything you've made that I've made so far has turned out FANTASTIC! So I know this would be delicioso! Thank you so much! What a gift you are Vincenzo!! God Bless you!
Thank you for sharing your memory and experience with me. You are such an amazing person for teaching the young what you've learn as well, they will surely remember this and bring this to their offspring in the future and keep on the tradition. I am lucky to have you in here, keep on cooking. I am rooting for you.
I was stationed in Sigonella Sicily in the early 90’s and we always stopped at Agip gas station on the Autostrada and got one of these rice balls, unbelievable taste
Very nice. I will try this. I like that the rice is cooked with some sauce. My family only added butter to the rice after it was cooked and refrigerated the night before. My Grandparents and Great Aunt's are from Palermo. ♥️
love your recipe, so good. years ago I worked with Francis Coppola in Italia we were in Roma 5 months a month in Mondello a month in Taormina such a special time in my life
Amo la Sicilia. Ho avuto il piacere di soggiornare 4 anni a Milazzo e Palermo. L'estate è incredibile. Le migliori arancinni, cannelloni e pasticcini. I dolci migliori sono in Sicilia. Sono di nazionalità rumena, ma adoro l'Italia, la Sicilia.
I love Sicily, Modica and Ragusa are my favorite places. Somehow I never tried the Arancini when I was there because I didn't know what it was but I'm loving it now and just made some for my block party, everyone loved it. Thank you for the post, it's very helpful.
You can get these in most pizzeria near me, but they are dry, flavorless, and overcooked. Thanks for making these Vincenzo. I might just have to make them now that I know the right way.

Vincenzo, we are making these today in Mount Vernon, OH, USA, and thinking of our two favorite places in Sicily: Taormina and my grandparents' birthplace, Modica! Thanks for the beautiful, helpful video!
Sounds great! I bet they were very good 😋
@@vincenzosplate Thanks to you, they were magnifico!
If I can’t find Mutti tomato paste, can I use regular tomato paste as a substitute? Maybe the Mutti brand will be more flavorful. 🤷🏿♀️
Of course you can use the tomato paste you want
My favorite place in Sicily is Palermo where my grandmother was born, and Corleone, where my grandfather was born. Both are quite beautiful.
Such deeply rooted connections! Palermo's charm and Corleone's history make for unforgettable experiences! 🇮🇹❤️
Delicious arancini! I love Taormina in Sicily. It is very picturesque. E ora si mangia Vicenzo's arancini! Thank you :)
When I went to Sicily, Arancini had to be my favorite food there. Just an amazing place and food.
Arancini is absolutely gorgeous ❤️😍 wow
Seems like a great recipe for when there is leftover rice. Thank you for sharing your amazing creations with us. Yum!
Waaaait why did he like this when he specifically said don't use left over rice in his latest video lol
@@moona202 he just appreciate every comment in his channel maybe, that's why he keep spamming "love features" 😁. But for original recipe use fresh risotto that already chilled in fridge.
You're right... never thought of that.
I just finished making them. Excellent .Thank-you!
Oh wow I’m so glad you tried and loved them 😍 great job!
Just when I decided I needed to cut down on carbohydrates, I discover VincenZo's Plate...
Oooops! 🤭 anyway welcome aboard ❤

Beautiful, making these Christmas eve. Thank you and God bless
Have you made those? 😍
We had these in Sicily and intend to have some this Christmas. My favourite place in Sicily is Cefalu
Wow Cefalù is amazing! Have you had arancini this Christmas? 😋
@@vincenzosplate yes, I made it for the first time ever, using your recipe and they were fantastic!
My Nana is from Palermo and my Nanu is from Caltanisetta. My mother married Southerner (Florida) and I joke I was raised on Grits and Lasagna! But I have made Arancini every year since I was in my 30's. This is when I finally forced my mother (who refused to share recipes - is this a Sicilian thing? I think my Nana did it too! lol) to show me how to do it. I am now 72 and have now taught my daughter and my grandchildren how to make Arancini, but I oversee the process, of course. I see a difference in your recipe from mine. My meat mixture, includes cooking onions in olive oil along with ground beef and I add Pecorino Romano and Parsley with the tomato paste. No peas, carrots or onions in it, but it looks good, I may try it! Third, I use Arborio rice too, but for many years my mother didn't tell me what kind to use so I used Long Grain White Rice. I changed to Arborio this year (better late than never) and once cooked I add butter and Pecorino Romano or Parmesan Reggiano to the rice and it makes it easier to create the rice balls. Lastly, I add my meat mixture to the ball and create the ball, I add no cheese. But I do make some rice balls with cheese only. Which my vegetarian granddaughter prefers and she picks the cheese. Also I add pecorino romano and parsley to the bread crumbs and it makes it look beautiful and tasty. I'm not saying this is an Italian version, it's my mother's version. I'm sure this is an Americanized version, but beloved by my family and they won't tolerate any changes (trust me I've tried). I now have a grandson in the Marines who is coming back home after being overseas and he has requested Arancini from his Nana. I will make him our version, but I would love to try your recipe someday soon. Everything you've made that I've made so far has turned out FANTASTIC! So I know this would be delicioso! Thank you so much! What a gift you are Vincenzo!! God Bless you!
Thank you for sharing your memory and experience with me. You are such an amazing person for teaching the young what you've learn as well, they will surely remember this and bring this to their offspring in the future and keep on the tradition. I am lucky to have you in here, keep on cooking. I am rooting for you.
Io amo lo video! Il mio favorito posto da Sicilia e Alimena. Il posto da mio nonno. Ciao, Vincenzo! Grazie
Grazie mille! Alimena holds such sentimental value. Saluti a tuo nonno! Ciao! 🇮🇹👴🏼👋
I was stationed in Sigonella Sicily in the early 90’s and we always stopped at Agip gas station on the Autostrada and got one of these rice balls, unbelievable taste
Well Done! They look fantastic . Our family is from Palermo🤍
Awesome! Thank you 😍
Very nice. I will try this. I like that the rice is cooked with some sauce. My family only added butter to the rice after it was cooked and refrigerated the night before. My Grandparents and Great Aunt's are from Palermo. ♥️
Hi Debra! Try this recipe and you won’t regret it 😋 in this way they are much better
My favourite place is and will always be the Isola Bella !
Amazing Sicily!!
That's what I am talking about !
That is a job well done Sir !
You are a real Pro!...love them!
love your recipe, so good. years ago I worked with Francis Coppola in Italia we were in Roma 5 months a month in Mondello a month in Taormina such a special time in my life
Wow 😍 how many of these delicious arancini did you eat in Taormina? Hehe 😁🤪
Amo la Sicilia. Ho avuto il piacere di soggiornare 4 anni a Milazzo e Palermo. L'estate è incredibile. Le migliori arancinni, cannelloni e pasticcini. I dolci migliori sono in Sicilia. Sono di nazionalità rumena, ma adoro l'Italia, la Sicilia.
ciao Florina, che bellezza 4 anni in Sicilia! Concordo pienamente con te che in Sicilia è tutto buono, dolci e non solo 😍
my great grandmother was from messina. and made these mmmmm
Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 🇵🇭

I love Sicily, Modica and Ragusa are my favorite places. Somehow I never tried the Arancini when I was there because I didn't know what it was but I'm loving it now and just made some for my block party, everyone loved it. Thank you for the post, it's very helpful.
That's looks very delicious and yummy,,, and easy to find your ingredients,, here in the Philippines,, thanks for sharing the recipe,,
I lived in catania and miss it ever so much! Thanks for this video! Ciao
@@vincenzosplate Catania fish market is the best! The Bam Bar in taormina has the best granita !! Thanks for the video!!
Mmmmmm delicioso! My family all came from Naples Italy...But we were brought up making Arancini the Sicilian way, that's best way, so good!
i love arancini... i haven't been able to eat one since i moved to London... Ur video helped a lot.... thank you
I'm watching from Malta 🇲🇹 thanks
Malta's beautiful! Hope you enjoy the taste of Sicily from there! 🇲🇹🇮🇹
You can get these in most pizzeria near me, but they are dry, flavorless, and overcooked. Thanks for making these Vincenzo. I might just have to make them now that I know the right way.
I have never made , now I can’t wait to cook these for my family
Exciting! Cooking arancini for your family will be a hit! Enjoy the delicious journey in the kitchen! 🍲👨👩👧👦
Rice Balls looks soooo delicious .
I have been in Avola Sicily and I ate the cone shapes a lot 😍😍😍😋
wow, Arancini in Sicily are the best thing 😍
