Hands-On: Arancini

It’s time to get your hands messy! In our hands-on format, our Scuola Chef will prepare Arancini for you to taste in class. You’ll then dive right in to making the recipe yourself from scratch. Take your culinary creation with you at the end of class and enjoy your own hard work at home!

Crispy, crunchy, and a perfect snack, arancini are popular throughout Italy, but especially in Sicily. These breaded and fried rice balls are often stuffed with all kinds of fillings, from melty mozzarella cheese to meat sauce with peas. These bites get their name from the Italian word arancia, meaning oranges, because of their similarity in appearance. In this class, you'll assemble the Arancini from prepared ingredients.

In this Class You Will:

• Learn about the traditions and culture of Arancini

• Observe as our Scuola Chef teaches the group how to make Arancini

• Fill your own Arancini from prepared ingredients

• Enjoy a menu featuring an antipasto, welcome Prosecco, and arancini alongside a wine pairing
