  1. I guess the use of margarine and the lack of egg in the batter is done not just to reduce costs but also to not have to make a separate batch of rice for vegetarian options.

  2. We Do thosed in 🇵🇷 P.R. not with Rice. With Potatos or Roots. Any Meat. Amazing. Thank You.🌎

  3. No judgment here but margarine ? Really ? lol

    Cheers from San Diego California

  4. Food from Italy that Italians Americaized is the most under appreciated culture gift in the us. Pizza you share, pasta you make fun shapes. It’s like so fun and delicious. 👽😍👽

  5. One doesn’t experience self transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates..🎟

  6. 0:33 First time I've seen a deep fryer with an automatic basket lifter. Cool!
    They make the arancina so delicately. Must taste amazing!👌

  7. as a kurdish we make same dish but instead of rice we use bulgur wheat and ours much more thin outskirt and much more filling ratio

  8. I am really surprised margarine was used would have expected butter. The saffron looks like tumeric.

  9. I just got back from a family trip to Sicily and my daughter tried these on our first day and then craved them every day after. I had no idea how involved they were to make.

  10. They look amazing..! I wish I could be there to enjoy some of your edible art..! 😋🤙
