Arancini
Arancini (, , , ) are Italian rice balls that are stuffed, coated with breadcrumbs and deep fried, and are a staple of Sicilian cuisine. The most common arancini fillings are: ''al ragù'' or ''al sugo'', filled with ragù (meat or mince, slow-cooked at low temperature with tomato sauce and spices), mozzarella or caciocavallo cheese, and often peas, and ''al burro'' or ''ô burru'', filled with ham and mozzarella or besciamella. A number of regional variants exist which differ in their fillings and shape. ''Arancini al ragù'' produced in eastern Sicily have a conical shape inspired by the volcano Etna. Etymology ''Arancini'' derives from the Sicilian plural diminutive of ('orange'), from their shape and colour which, after cooking, is reminiscent of an orange. In Sicilian, '' arancini'' is grammatically plural. The corresponding singular is either the masculine '' arancinu'' or the feminine '' arancina''. The eastern side of Sicily tends to use the masculine form, wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Emirate Of Sicily
The Emirate of Sicily ( ar, إِمَارَة صِقِلِّيَة, ʾImārat Ṣiqilliya) was an Islamic kingdom that ruled the island of Sicily from 831 to 1091. Its capital was Palermo (Arabic: ''Balarm''), which during this period became a major cultural and political center of the Muslim world. Sicily was part of the Byzantine Empire when Muslim forces from Ifriqiya began launching raids in 652. Through a prolonged series of conflicts from 827 to 902, they gradually conquered the entirety of Sicily, with only the stronghold of Rometta, in the far northeast, holding out until 965. Under Muslim rule, the island became increasingly prosperous and cosmopolitan. Trade and agriculture flourished, and Palermo became one of the largest and wealthiest cities in Europe.
