Cucina Arancini

Anyone who has ever prepared Arancini knows it is an extremely labour intensive dish. It takes a long time to prepare them with many steps before you make it to the eating stage. I myself have prepared two varieties in my time cooking and I will tell you that the effort is worth it when you take that first bite.

This is why when I stumbled across these frozen Arancini from Cucina, I just had to try them. Could they possibly be as delicious as freshly prepared Arancini? They offer a variety of frozen Arancini products but be aware that they are not all vegetarian so you have to do a little reading.

They claim to be better than home made and they were certainly delicious! I enjoyed the Margherita variety which had tomato sauce and mozzarella in the center. They were so crispy on the outside and ooey gooey on the inside, they left me completely satisfied. I also loved the flavour of the rice on the inside. It still had texture to it despite being a frozen product and I really picked up the flavours of the saffron.

Long story short, they were phenomenal. They may or may not be better than home made but they are worth the money and the time you'll save preparing them yourself. Keep an eye out for this tasty product!
