What you can expect

On this experience, you will be accompanied by me, a licensed tour escort. We will meet in the famous Piazza dei Quattro Canti, and after a brief introduction to Palermo's long and complex history, we will head to the Ballarò area. There, Antonello will welcome us to his small workshop, where he prepares his delicious arancini, which he sells on the street corner during the day (as was the custom in the past). His workshop is a popular spot for fans of this Arab-inspired recipe, the queen of street food. We will learn all of Antonello's secrets, from how to prepare the rice and how to separate the grains, to the filling and shaping (the most important and delicate step). He will prepare the meat sauce himself, but he will reveal his recipe to us. After preparing the arancini, we will fry them and enjoy them together, accompanied by a small glass of wine or beer.
