My Family's Arancini (Rice Balls) Recipe | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@deserteagle7032]

What makes Chef JP the best is his charm and charisma and he's down-to-earth, and most importantly, he has never forgotten his mum or grandma 😀

Chef, every time you forget something, it makes me smile, cause you don't fret over it. You don't get upset, you just fix it as best you can and keep going and remind us sometimes, "It'll be delicious anyways, even if it's not perfect." You don't just teach us how to cook, y'know, you show us a better way to live in the world.

[@canadianjaneoriginal]

Keeping it real :) It’s a charming thing actually because it’s more realistic to what happens in home cooking.

[@MrGravylegs]

I’m absolutely in love with the “off camera” Candid moments of Chef enjoying his meal!’ Magical!! Thank you all so much!!! I have made so many more of these meals that Chef JP makes here on his channel in comparison to ALL the rest of the food channels I subscribe to combined!! (And there’s a lot!!) Thanks again!! Looking forward to making more!!

[@mikearsenault9244]

Yup I agree!

" Thank goodness the camera is off". Jack does a phenomenal job with the cameras. He shows the love and passion that is required to be a truly great chef. The small snippets of animation that Jack interjects along with highlighted quotes ,proves to be a great relationship. Much love to the channel and the crew.

[@angelayurman2216]

Chef thank you for your video on rice balls. I’ve actually been making them for 50+ years in all sizes from cocktail to appetizer to side dish. BUT I can’t tell you how much easier it was after you suggested the rice ball mold. WOW…Perfect! Thanks for teaching this old lady a new trick. Angela

Oh Chef! So many of my Italian grandmothers recipes were lost to us (Alzheimer’s)-and was full on crying remembering this one! Her cooking dinner and me sitting in her kitchen watching her magic every day when I got home from school. I had forgotten all about this gem! Happy to have it back. Thank you 💟

Yes!!! Arancini ❤ 😋 Thank you Chef. So many places screw these up. Looking forward to your recipe. Ha! A little cheese. Adds more. And more ❤

[@carmelasortino8979]

This video brought tears to my eyes. My mom made these for all the special occasions. She made them and leave them in the fridge over night. They would be fried the next morning. Like your grandma she put them through the egg and breadcrumbs twice. Thank you so much chef. We need to keep these recipes and traditions going. ❤❤❤

🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@DBBlocker]

just ran across this channel and I'm loving it!!

[@ThyLLiS-]

For me the best cuisine ever is the cuisine passed down from generations to generations. We all remember this special dish our grandmas, mothers, aunties, etc. made that we loved, even if sometimes it was very simple like for exemple one of my great aunt use to make penne with basil, cream and parmesan cheese. It is the simplest thing ever, but guys, just by talking about it I'm salivating. As a French man with Italian and Corsican backgrounds living in Germany, Chef Jean Pierre makes me so proud to see an Italian/French Chef so loved on the internet and sharing his tricks and recipes. And finally : maaaaan those arancinis look soooo delicious.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you! 🙏❤️

[@markiobook8639]

I love how Chef Jean Pierre shares with us comfort food and budget food as much as gourmet food. A lot of simple home food is delicious- it doesn't all have to be micro-flavour-chemical-gourmet Michelin star nonsense. Most of "gourmet food" is a variant of normal food. For example Krug champagne- how did they drink Krug? With lead-crystal champagne flutes or Marie Antoinette boobie shaped glasses?! No-with a krug- a simple glazed earthen ware coffee-mug. It's simply bubbly white wine monks invented.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

[@iitsMikeB]

There's something about the simplicity of arancini that I just love. On the outside, it seems sofisticated in more ways than one, but in truth, it is one of the most fun Italian foods you'll ever make, and it doesn't even take that long to make them either.

[@lumenesque1]

Thank you so much for making fine cuisine so accessible, Chef Jean-Pierre. Loved this recipe.

[@trinitywright7122]

I have never seen such big balls. (Risotto balls.) And the way you cook the risotto and did them several times in the egg and crumbs was magnificent I only wish I could taste it. Now what I extremely very much liked was you being you after you told Jack to turn the camera off😂 This is what I tuned in for originally a year or so ago and this is what I've been missing! Please please don't leave out your personality and leave out the funny parts. Because that's what we like the best. The stories. The putting too much in your mouth, then making funny jokes, and all that stuff. The recipes are second best to all those❤

[@josephrkennedy845]

One of my closest and oldest friends and I spoke tonight. He's an observant Jew and I mentioned Chef. He cooks a lot and very well. Though he wasn't observant in our youth and made some awesome shrimp dishes. "You want to watch Chef Jean-Pierre. He explains so well and just adjust the recipes to be kosher. Oil instead of clarified butter when doing meat. And as Chef says, if you don't have chicken broth use vegetable broth! Can't use Bolognese? Use a marinara! " Trading chefs and recipes with friends. Chef has a couple of new fans.

Magnifique! Quelle précision dans les cuissons! Arancini veut dire littéralement "petites oranges" en sicilien. Pour accentuer le côté "orange", on peut utiliser un peu de safran pour colorer le riz, et même la chapelure.
