Arancini di Riso: Sicilian Rice Balls

Great first attempt. Definitely will attempt again, but came out pretty good. My risotto was perhaps a little undercooked and needed a bit of salt, but overall a good experience. Very time consuming to be prepared. I also made my own breadcrumbs which did not make things easier

Very good; the white wine is really a must for taste. Long to make but thé kids say it is worth it

Work fast when making the balls. Having the batch sit out while making the balls in combination with the heat from your hands will make it thaw out quicker and it becomes a lot harder to work with (I personally had to throw away two rice balls because it kept falling apart and wouldn't hold any shape). They are a little bland tasting (but that may just be because I used vegetable stock instead of chicken) so I recommend adding a few more flavoring agents if you so wish during the "risotto making" stage.
