Sicilian cuisine

[Mistel]

Arancine:

I adore arancini!

[Sikeliot]

That's because Parmigiano is a north-central italian cheese. Probabily people mistake the name.

Yes. It gets it name from Parma, in Emilia-Romagna no?

that seems tasty.
Anything deep in chocolate?

Chocolate isn't a big component of Sicilian cuisine. When it's used, it's usually optional rather than a necessary ingredient.



This is chocolate granita, a delicacy from Catania.

Best arancini have cheese, ham and minced potatoes.

[alfieb]

I agree on cheese and prosciutto, but prefer rice filling to potato.

I prefer standard arancini with rice, ragù and peas.

I prefer standard arancini with rice, ragù and peas.

That's my optimal preference as well. Then again there are dozens and dozens of varieties. I remember when I was living in Rome I had to restrain myself from going to the arancini fast food restaurant because I didn't want to gain weight.

If anyone is ever in Rome, go to Mondo Arancina. You will not be disappointed.

We need someone Sicilian to cook for us.
