Prosciutto Arancini

means “little oranges,” which is exactly what these round, deep-fried rice croquettes look like when they are lifted from the hot oil. They are served as snack food in bars and cafés all over Sicily, and their filling can vary—meat and tomato sauce with peas, chopped vegetables and white sauce, cheese and prosciutto—depending on the cook.
