Recipe #227: Supli


Supli is that wonderful italian food that didn't make it out of Italy the way pizza did. Often you will eat them together--perfect street food. You pay for pizza by the kilo and have a supli on the side. It is Italian version of the Japanese Onigiri. Just great food to eat on the go...wish the US had more of that!

You need: (these measurements are all estimates)
2 cups rice
1 cup spaghetti sauce
2 Tbsp parmesan 
9 cubes of mozzarella
2 eggs
bread crumbs
oil
  • once your rice is done cooking, mix it with spaghetti sauce and parmesan
  • take a handful of rice and form it into a ball (I used a piece of plastic wrap to help form it quicker and it wasn't so hot then
  • stick a cube of cheese in the middle of the rice and reform ball around it. 
  • dip in egg to coat then in the bread crumbs. 
  • Deep fry in hot oil. I used a small pot to use less oil and put two in at a time. 
  • makes about 9 supli
It was so delicious!
