We know the secret of the perfect Arancina…
…and we are willing to share it with everyone. It is also for this reason that Suarè is born, to protect tradition and allow everyone to be able to offer their customers the REAL Sicilian Arancine.
A first secret is in rice, in its quality. Then you have to be careful, to also give the right crunchiness to the breading, with a delicate frying but resolute at the same time.
A second secret is in the filling: only first choice ingredients: Meat Ragu, mushrooms, butter and ham, only Sicilian raw materials of high quality.
Other secrets are then our devices: the bay leaf to flavour the Ragu, a hint of saffron and the breadcrumbs.
And then, above all, time and patience. Each Arancina must be perfect: in the form, filling and flavour.
Arancine are one of the many gastronomic inheritances of the Arab domination in Sicily, around the year 1000.
In fact, Arancina was born as an ancient rice dish that was placed at the centre of the table and had the various condiments, pieces of meat, fragrant saffron and vegetables all around. In order to facilitate its transport, the Arab chefs invented the current spherical shape that was first breaded and then fried so as to obtain a greater consistency, ideal for the journey. And that’s how Arancina was born. The one from the round shape is Arancina with Meat Ragu, while the one elongated is the variant with butter.
