How to prepare: Supplì
To prepare the supplì, start finely chopping the onion and brown it in hot oil, without letting them take too much color. Add the minced meat and brown it, turning it often. When it has browned, blend with the white wine and let it evaporate. Add the tomato puree, season with salt and cook for 10-15 minutes: the sauce should be thick but not completely dry.
At this point add the rice and cook it as if it were a risotto, gradually adding the hot broth.
When cooked, stir in the butter and grated cheese and mix well. Then transfer the rice onto a surface covered with parchment paper and spread it out with a spoon (without crushing) spreading it out to allow it to cool completely.
While the rice cools, cut the mozzarella into small pieces and let it drain. When the rice is cold you can proceed to the formation of the supplì: take a little rice (the size of a meatball) with wet hands and flatten it on a palm. Place a piece of mozzarella on top and close it all around giving the supplì the shape of a cylinder.
Then pass the suppli in the beaten egg and then in the breadcrumbs, making the breading adhere well. Heat seed oil to a temperature of 175-180 ° and fry a few supplì at a time, turning them often until they become golden brown on the whole surface. Transfer them, as they are ready, on absorbent paper.
Serve the supplì hot.
