Italian pastries?

Question

when i was in italy, every morning we ate these pastries, something to do with" pasta di riso" looked like a butterfly shape, it had a custard in side, does anyone know where I can get a recipe for this?

Answer 1

this sicilian way ( non italian north region)

Making the filling according to the traditional recipe will take a couple of hours, during which time you can cook the rice as well and let it cool.

The actual assembly and frying of the arancini will take about an hour more. If need be you can prepare the filling ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.

The rice, on the other hand, should be cooked when you're ready to proceed.

To serve 4 you'll need:

1 1/2 cups rice

Half a packet of saffron (a few pistils, about 1/8 teaspoon)

1 cup grated Parmigiano (freshly grated, not from a can)

4 eggs

2/3 pound (300 g) ground beef

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 clove garlic

1/2 a small onion

A packed quarter cup dried porcini

1/3 cup olive oil

1/2 cup dry red wine

1/4 pound mozzarella or fresh, soft provolone (if you're in Sicily you will want to use canestrato fresco)

1 cup fresh peas, boiled

Flour

Bread crumbs

Salt and Pepper

Oil for frying

Organically grown orange leaves (optional, as garnish)
