I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but it is so yummy to put cheese in the center of a meatball. A little cube of mozzarella or provelone. Mmm Mmm!
mmm, yea. That's like how you make rice balls; with the mozzarella in the center. (Which by the way are EXTREMELY time consuming) but super delish.
Arancini! Mmmm I love those things!!
i know! i miss that you can't get them at pizzarias here, like you can in NY. hmph.
bah! I'm like a 3 hour drive from NY now so I can't get them either.
Man. I had quite an awful experiance making them one time. It was the first time i did it, and had no idea how involved it was making the risotto from scratch...and we were having company over...(people that had never come over before) when they got there, the kitchen was a wreck and i was literally in tears. But man, they were good. haha
My Dad makes the best riceballs. I order them at every restaurant that has them on the menu. I haven't yet found a place that compares to my Dad's.
I love arancini! Every time I make risotto, I make extra for them. I always say to Donovan "I'm making arancini, do you want some?" and he says no, I think because he doesn't remember what they are - then he inevitably steals some of the batch I thought was just for me. :P They're so good!
