Arancini

★ 4.511

Part of traditional southern Italian cuisine for centuries, arancini are large rice balls that are stuffed with a savoury filling then coated in breadcrumbs and deep fried. Fillings vary from region to region but one of the most popular is a rich meat ragù with peas. Arancini that are formed with mozzarella in the centre are called arancini di riso al telefono due to the mozzarella forming a long string like a telephone line when broken apart.

Malfatti, literally ‘badly made’ in Italian, are small finger-shaped dumplings made from spinach and cheese. This humble dish is believed to have been invented by mistake, when leftover ravioli filling was reformed into dumplings by a resourceful chef. With spinach giving them a distinctive green colouring, the dumplings are served coated in a sage butter and eaten as part of an antipasti spread, or covered with a rich tomato sauce and enjoyed as a hearty main meal.
