Originating in Sicily, arancini are a staple of Italian street cuisine and can be adapted to a variety of flavours and fillings. This version combines a traditional risotto blanco base with fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary for a vibrant, herby ball of flavour. Stuffed with vegan cheese that melts in the mouth, this is the perfect plant-based snack to impress your friends.
