It's been a day since David Rocco wrote about my blog and I am still pinching myself! I even got an e-mail from Lauren at David Rocco communications- saying she loved the post about Emily and the beaver tails and that I should keep up the good work :) It made me light on my feet as I cooked the next dish in his Dolce Vita cook book. I made Arancini (rice balls).
I have to say I was pretty excited to learn how to make rice balls. My Mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid, and since then I would only indulge in them when I went to a Bakery that had a hot table.
In the cook book, you learn how to stuff the Arancinis 3 ways (tre modi) but I simply stuffed mine with fresh mozzarella. The rice balls turned out sooo good and they were surprisingly so easy to make! The kids liked the crunchy outer crust and I liked how the mozzarella stretched out of them. I'll be making this again soon!
P.S Does anyone know where I can buy some Carpaccio in Toronto? I need it for my next dish!
Oh Sandy. You'll abandon your other blog for this one now LOL.
