Suppli
SURPRISE! Today’s recipe is called Supplì, which was derived from the French word for *surprise*, because of the filling inside.
This traditional Italian rice ball is stuffed with oozing mozzarella cheese. It was originally sold at a ‘friggitorie’, typical Roman fried food shops. Now they are commonly served in most pizzerias all around Italy.
