Before I begin a senior moment and a correction. In Crostini munching I wrote “... pass to hungry hoard(e)s” not meaning a hidden stock or treasure. I meant of course “hungry hordes” meaning a tribe or clan. So sorry – can only plead a head full of broken biscuits!
I suggested a drizzle of Balsamic glaze over your arancini and it occurs that it can be quite expensive. If you are, like me, addicted to anything Balsamic then you might want the cheaper option - make your own!
Balsamic Glaze
50g/2oz demerara sugar
250ml/9 fluid oz balsamic vinegar
Place the sugar and vinegar in a medium saucepan (19cms or 7½” in diameter) and heat slowly, stirring allowing the sugar to dissolve. Bring to the boil, then reduce and simmer for 20 minutes – until the glaze is reduce by half. It should coat the back of a spoon. Decant into a clean jar with a lid – fridge it.
My only comment - I wouldn't stray too far from your hob and use your timer – it's worth the 20 minutes.
Who knows - this recipe might come in handy with all the random product disappearances over the last months - it's impossible to predict what will vanish next and it's always good to have a “plan b”.
Now for a speedy mid week alternative to risotto without the stress!
