Traditional cone-shaped Sicilian arancini street food in Taormina, Italy.
The arancini: A Volcanic rush
Swing by any rosticceria (fast food shop) in Sicily and you will find arancini. It’s a hand-held delight made from risotto (rice, cheese, butter, onion and white wine) that is rolled, breaded, stuffed with more cheese and fried until crispy. Endless variations appear, including those that are shaped like a cone (like nearby Mt Etna, perhaps) found on the streets of Taormina.
Once bitten, its hard to resist the volcanic rush: crunchy on the outside, cheesy on the inside.
