L' arancina siciliana
The origins of the Arancina date back to the Arab domination in Sicily, which lasted from the ninth to the eleventh century. The Arabs used to knead a little saffron rice in the palm of the hand, then season it with lamb before eating it; a small ball of rice in the shape of a small orange (<ar.nāranj). All roundish meatballs in the Arab world took their name from the fruit to which they could be assimilated in shape and size (oranges but also apricots, dates, hazelnuts); the comparison with oranges was natural in Sicily as the island has always been rich.
