Sicilian Street Food as Appetizers for Caterers

Culinary Specialties is here to help hospitality businesses across the United States offer global cuisine with simple prep and our wholesale pricing. One special treat that can really set your menu apart is a delightful, breaded appetizer that originates from the streets of Sicily. We’re talking about arancini (or arancine, depending on the part of Sicily someone is from), a fried ball of risotto with various fillings.

Here are just a few options we offer that can be the perfect way to kick off a meal at a special event:

  • Parmesan Arancini – We combine mozzarella and parmesan cheese to create a creamy arancino that is sure to delight any cheese lover. It’s the ultimate combination of rice and cheese, fried to perfection!
  • Wild Mushroom Arancini – Again, the panko crust creates a perfect balance of a crispy exterior and creamy interior. This time, we pair mushrooms, onions, garlic, and chives with the risotto in order to develop umami flavors that eventgoers are sure to love.
  • Andouille Risotto Balls – We use spicy andouille sausage to ensure this fried rice ball packs a powerful punch! All the creamy deliciousness of rice and cheese is still in there, but now your meat-loving clients can get their fix.
