Directions
Spinach Arancini (rice Balls), Courtesy of the fine folks at the HBO The Soprano’s BBs , So you’re using FIVE cups of liquid to 1 5 cups of rice? That’s quite a lot of liquid Even the instructions on the rice say only 3 cups of broth to one cup of rice Can the wine replace one of the cups of rice? Can the wine be eliminated (if you don’t like the tste of wine)? Thanks, I made this today and it turned out really well! Creamy and cheesy inside, crispy outside I had no problem with the balls breaking apart – when inserting cheese, I packed the balls in a bit more Will definitely make this again
