A Taste of Sicily

Risotto Ball

I was invited to judge in a business presentation competition for start up companies and among the presenters were a restauranteur. He owns the Mr. Arancino outfit which operates a food truck business in Vancouver. In his presentation, he actaully brought along some samples for the judges to try. It was a first for me. I have never eaten or tasted anything Sicilian before and it was pretty good stuff. There were three different edible gooey balls for the judges to try.

The Gooey Risotto Balls

But the competition was not a food tasting competition, we enjoyed the treats but it was the business presentation that we were judging on. The edible gooey balls were called risotto balls and supposed to be one hundred percent Sicilian recipe. We were treated with three different selections each and we all enjoyed them. Crunchy on the outside but flavourful and tasty in the inside. The inside were stuffed with different ingredients, one was sweet, another was cheesy and the last was beans with rice. Mr. Arancino serves nine different variety of the delicious gooey risotto balls.
