Suppli al telefono
Italian 20 Mins Prep · 25 Mins Cook
- Finely chop the onion and parsley. Beat the egg lightly.
- Pour the water into a large saucepan. Add the salt, onion and parsley. Bring to a boil, then add the rice and cook until tender, approx. 20 minutes. Drain the rice and put it in a large shallow dish to cool. Add the passata and stir in the beaten egg, a little at a time.
- Using your hands, form oblong-shaped rice balls the size of a large egg. Make a hole in the centre of each ball with your finger and stuff a small cube of mozzarella into it. Close the hole over and squeeze the balls firmly between your hands.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Gently roll the rice balls in the breadcrumbs until well coated.
- Heat enough oil in a saucepan or deep-sided frying pan.
- Give the suppli one more squeeze before gently lowering them into the hot oil in small batches. Fry until golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
