Tomato and mozzarella suppli. Crispy rice balls with tomato sauce and a heart of stringy mozzarella. •Ingredients:•500 gr of rice(I used Carnaroli)•800 gr tomato sause•1 onion+clove of garlic•Basil leaf•extra virgin olive oil•20 gr butter•salt/pepper •hot water or vegetable broth•Grated Parmigiano Reggiano•200 gr of mozzarellaFor the breading:•breadcrumbs•batter: (2 of water 1 of flour) pinch of salt•Oil for frying. Before starting, a little introduction, I like suppli’ with lots of basil and lots of Parmigiano Reggiano, for this reason I have not put the quantities of some ingredients, as they say here in Italy,”a sentimento” (by feelings)you have to season it! Start by chopping the onion and garlic and sautéing them in a pan with olive oil. Add the rice and toast it for a few minutes. Add the tomato sauce, basil, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking, adding water or broth. Don't cook the rice until it's done, but it should still be crunchy (al dente) in the center of the grain. Remove from the heat and add the butter and Parmesan. Let it cool completely. Once cooled, fill them with mozzarella. Before breading, let them cool in the freezer for about 30 minutes and in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes after breading. Dip them first in the batter and then in the breadcrumbs. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Serve them hot and be careful, they are really hot!
