Arancini are a classic Sicilian appetizers consisting of creamy risotto stuffed with soft cheese, breaded, and finally deep fried. Completely vegetarian and described by many as fragrant, cheesy, and irresistible! Need we say more?

Mushrooms are firm-textured with an excellent earthy flavor, and act as the star for this aromatic and deeply savory risotto. We take advantage of their texture by slow-cooking some in brown-butter risotto and pan-frying the rest for a nutty, garlicky, and crispy topping!
