There\u2019s nothing I love more than an Aperitivo! I\u2019m patiently waiting until I get over to Italy (T-6 months until we head over for the summer if all goes according to plan) but until then, I\u2019ll be here re-creating some of my favorite bites like this Parmesan Arancini.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Until then\u2026 we\u2019re doing it up at home!! Our resident cookbook club editor who resides in Rome and my dear friend Kristina Gill<\/a> schooled me in all things Aperitivo for the winter months and I\u2019m pretty sure she would be proud of this spread. We\u2019ve got meats, cheeses, olives, salty potato chips, rosemary flavored almonds and Arancini! It\u2019s picture perfect, pretty much effortless and exactly what I want to eat these days leading up to the holiday! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arancini, for those of you who haven’t had it or heard of it, is a fried rice ball that’s traditionally stuffed with meats or cheese. It’s truly a heavenly bite and something that I want on repeat these chilly winter months. Pair it with a Peroni, an Aperol spritz or a negroni and you’re basically living your best Italian life! Below you’ll find the recipe for making these from scratch but if you want to simplify, you could make any number of the risotto recipes here on WGC and then refrigerate the leftovers over night and use that to assemble the following day (two birds, one stone!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
