Sweet Arancini
Getting their name from their orange shape, arancini (supplí in Roman cuisine) are said to have originated in Sicily during Arab rule (10th century). They have since spread throughout Italy and can be enjoyed with different fillings. Sicilian arancini are usually stuffed with ragú, you can also buy them stuffed with mushrooms, peas, cheese or pancetta. They’re a great way to use up leftover risotto, if that ever happens. In this sweet version rice pudding is used instead of a savoury risotto, the nutella is optional but a delicious addition.
