Vegano Italiano

🇮🇹 Arancini - Pronounced: ah-ran-CHEE-nee - meaning “little oranges” as they are deep fried and become a rich golden - orange color. These fried balls of delightfulness originated in Sicily as a common food for travelers, soon becoming Italys most iconic street food.

Arancini can be made in a variety of ways - at Vegano we keep it traditional with peas, fresh herbs, mozzarella and our creamy almond ricotta.

It all starts with risotto - Arborio rice garlic, shallots, peas, fresh sage, thyme and parmesan, rolled, stuffed with ricotta, breaded and fried. Each bite perfectly crispy and cheesy, making these, our most popular menu item yet. Always served with fresh homemade Vegano Red Sauce for dipping.

🛞🛻 UPDATE: we lost a tire on the way to Detroit yesterday and it did some serious damage to the trailer. We had to replace the axel, leaf spring and a few other parts. Parts came in but weren’t the right size so we are STILL working on putting her back together. We will not be at Barkside tonight (5/22)

If Brad gets the trailer up and running by tomorrow we will add Sunday or Monday to the schedule either in Southfield or Whitmore Lake. I’ll make a separate post for that.

Thank you all for the words of affirmation and understanding. 💗 you!

Next Week is a 5 day week! Detroit, Ann Arbor, Southfield and Chelsea
