Molly Makes Arancini | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

Join Molly in the Test Kitchen as she makes arancini (deep fried stuffed rice balls)! To make these Sicilian cheese-filled snacks, you first have to make risotto, then use the risotto to make cheese-stuffed balls, then coat them with breadcrumbs and deep-fry them. It’s a labor of love that will make other people love you, which is reason enough to give this recipe a try.

So when you crush it, it forms like this two part epoxy or glue, and that is the allicin, and the allicin is what's really really good for you in garlic I believe

[@discipleofshaun5252]

Maybe the reverse is true? Perhaps she made a bet with someone that this video would have an immense influx of allicin comments.

[@woweyn]

I love Brad, but every one of BA's staffers really put so much effort into each of their videos that it's really rude to make off-topic comments.

[@jonsiiin]

can someone explain to me what the allicin comments are even about? who tf is allicin?

[@discipleofshaun5252]

jonsiiin Allicin is a chemical, not a person. More specifically, Allicin is an organosulfur compound obtained from garlic. When fresh garlic is chopped or crushed, the enzyme alliinase converts alliin into allicin, which is responsible for the aroma of fresh garlic. The importance of this is as a potentially healthful ingredient, an apoxy-like binding agent, and most importantly as a meme created by this very channel. Tl;dr It’s a chemical from fresh garlic that became a meme on this channel. I couldn’t give you a definitive reason for why.

But with garlic when you crush it, it’s kinda like a 2 part glue or 2 part epoxy. You crush the cell walls, and when something is crushing the cell walls it make a thing called allicin, and that what’s really good for you in garlic. I believe.

as an italian from sicily, I remember the arancini big time. Allthough we didn't use risotto, but simple cooked rice and filled them with bolognese sauce and mozzarella. We also shaped them pointy on one side of the ball. Arancini are an enourmus part of my childhood and it's quite interesting to see this method. I'm gonna try to make them this way for christmas.

arancini means "little orange" in Italian because when they're fried and turn golden orange in color they look like oranges.

Calabria and Sicilia are 2 different regions 🤭😂 Calabria is well known for chilli, but you can’t find arancini there because arancini are sicilian. btw in sicily we don’t dip arancini in ANYTHING, really it’s not needed because they are full of ragù and cheese.
