this recipe sounds fantastic, and imagine my surprise when I read your local plug for Mazziotti’s in Arnold, PA! I have been eating their bread my whole life!
I can’t wait to try this recipe out, as well as using some local italian bread to sop up the sauce.

Thank you for this non-fried version!
i’m bringing these little morsels to a NYE party and I need it to be easy for the host to know what to do with it haha!
I think i’m going to add parmesan cheese to my rice mixture but this is incredible thank you so much!
(the pizzaria i worked at for 8 years used to add peas to theirs… i don’t know if that’s needed.)

Love! Love! Love! They look fabulous. The best part of the post is about the recipe history. How cool is that! I say it all the time. The best thing about food blogging is the people that you get to meet!

I am always looking for gluten free recipes for my husband and I hope to try this, this week. I have a feeling, it will become a regular on our menu, if it tastes even half as good as it looks.

Marcia – Thanks so much for the suggestion! A creamy mushroom sauce sounds like it would be fabulous with these!

BTW…these are great served with the traditional tomato sauce, but are exceptional served with a creamy porcini mushroom sauce.

Ooooh the wonders of Arancini, delicious and so good! I also love the idea of baking in a hot oven instead of frying.

Kudos

I love making these in the winter. I think I would sweat to death if I made them now. Yours are absolutely perfect.

My mom makes something similar called suplee. She would make her “rice in the oven” recipe, arboria rice combined with red meat sauce, pour it into a lasagna pan and mix in shredded mozzarella then bake it in the oven. That alone is delicous but we would look forward to what she did with the leftovers! She would make rice balls out of the leftover rice and add a cube of mozzarella in the middle, roll the rice balls in bread crumbs then lightly fry them. One word…HEAVEN!!
