Description

Welcome to an experience that smells of Sicily! During this course dedicated to arancini, a tour guide will lead customers step by step in the creation of one of the most iconic symbols of Sicilian cuisine. We will start with a brief historical and cultural introduction to discover the origins and curiosities related to this dish loved all over the world. Next, we will enter the kitchen: you will learn how to prepare the perfect rice, flavor it with saffron, and make a rich and tasty filling, from the classic ragù to more modern variations. Then we will move on to the most fun part: the manual processing, in which each participant will shape the arancino with their own hands, discovering the tricks to achieve the ideal, compact shape. Finally, it will be time to fry them: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the secret to the perfect balance between texture and taste. The experience will end with a tasting of the arancini prepared together, accompanied by a glass of local wine or a typical soft drink, to fully experience Sicilian conviviality. An activity that combines tradition, craftsmanship, and culinary pleasure: a memory to take home not only in your heart, but also in your hands.
