Add flavor to arancini with truffle

Arancini are a traditional Sicilian snack. To create them, begin with cooked rice and add savory seasonings as desired or available. After assembling the balls, they are covered with breadcrumbs and cooked. While the basic staple is simple — arborio rice and mozzarella cheese, with the possibility of adding meat or vegetables — many chefs have enhanced arancini to reflect different cuisines or culinary methods, such as Spanish, French, Chinese, and Japanese tastes.

Add finely chopped truffles to the rice before breading to include truffles in this recipe. It's also feasible to change the cheese from mozzarella to something with a more dramatic taste. From aged cheddar to goat cheese or whatever the local cheesemonger offers, a variety of robust or mild cheeses might fit. A carbonara arancini version with Parmigiano Reggiano would be a fantastic way to keep Italian customs alive. Look for cheese with a high melting point so that the arancini may be served hot and sticky.
