I always wondered why a lot of Italian restaurants dont have Arancini on the menu when they are so tasty...
so decided to make them myself this week.
Now I understand! The time required is kind of ridiculous unless you cheat enormously and sacrifice the rice being perfect as a result. And if doing them properly need an egg wash, and ofc that starts getting expensive quickly if making en masse.
As have to chill the rice once has been soaked in your broth... for like half a day...
then once you form the balls with the filling inside the rice... you need to chill them basically overnight.
Started making these bastards on Friday and just about done now.
And then with the timespan needed means that only have one day to eat them before you are right up against food safety deadlines!
