Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Arancina is the Queen of Palermo Street Food. It is a ball of rice, filled with a tasty filling of meat or cheese, breaded and fried in abundant oil.
During this experience you will learn all the secrets to preparing fantastic arancine, following the recipe my grandma handed me down. I will show you the most suitable rice and its particular cooking method to remain 'al dente' but at the same time very compact, the preparation of the filling with ragout and pieces of cheese or with bechamel, ham and cheese (my favourite), up to the breading. I also offer vegetarian variations. At the end of the preparation we will sit at the table to taste the fruit of our work together with some good local wine or beer.
