One of the most popular Sicilian street food snacks is the humble arancini. These rice balls typically consist of soft rice like risotto that is fried and commonly stuffed with sauce, cheese and peas. They make for the perfect antipasto or even a meal when you pair it with some other sides and of course, a little marinara on the side.
Here are some of the best arancini in Toronto.
