There are many variations in Italy of this fried treat that everyone loves for its simplicity. To make it, we recommend choosing rice that releases a good amount of starch and becomes soft when cooked; avoid parboiled rice or rice advertised as suitable for rice salads.

If you have never tried rice fritters, follow our step-by-step recipe,
you will see that they will become a nice solution to various celebrations and gatherings with friends and family.

What wine should be served with rice fritters?

The ideal wine is a raisin wine, created by patiently waiting for the grapes to dry on the vine so that the sugars and essential aromas and flavours of the grapes can be concentrated.
Raisin wines such as Passito di Pantelleria have a sweetness that is never cloying, made up of balsamic notes, dried yellow fruit such as apricot, and blend perfectly with the softness of the fritters while the ever-present acidity cleanses and refreshes the palate.

For the curious, we also suggest trying it with a sweet bubble, such as Recioto di Soave Spumante.
