instructions
A Roman snack made out of risotto rice filled with mozzarella!
Air fryer
Add the tomato sauce to a large frying pan and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the risotto rice, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the hot broth 1-2 ladles at a time, stirring often until the rice is cooked (not mushy) and the mixture is liquid free but creamy.
Add the pepper, salt and Parmesan. Move to a bowl and let cool down completely.
Cut the mozzarella in thick sticks in the meantime.
Place 1½ tbsp of the rice mixture in the palm of your hand. Place a stick of mozzarella in the middle. Mold into an oblong shape, making sure that the mozzarella is completely covered (you may need a bit more rice mixture to close it completely). If it is too sticky, you can also use plastic foil to fold it easier and thighter.Set aside on a clean plate until all suppli are formed.
In a small bowl beat an egg, and place the bread crumbs in a plate. First roll the suppli in the egg and then in the bread crumbs set aside until all are rolled.
Place the supplì in the air fryer on 180 °C for 15-20 minutes, till golden brown. Cover them with olive oil to make them more juicy.

With the vegetable broth the extra salt with the pepper and parmesan isn’t necessary, makes it way to salty other than that, great recipe!
