Fried Rice Balls with Cheese (Arancini di Riso con Formaggio)
Found throughout the bustling tavole calde of Sicily, these golden spheres are a staple of southern Italian street food. Named for their resemblance to small oranges, the rice is enriched with creamy ricotta and sharp pecorino, creating a soft, savoury interior against a crisp exterior. When bitten into, the pockets of mozzarella stretch into long strings, a characteristic that earned them the playful nickname supplì al telefono. These are best enjoyed piping hot, served as a rustic starter or part of a shared fried platter.
