Description
A classic Roman street food, supplì are fried rice balls with a gooey mozzarella center. This recipe offers three iconic flavors: Classic Pomodoro, the peppery Cacio e Pepe, and a rich Ragù. Their name comes from the Italian word for "surprise," referring to the melted cheese, which famously creates a "telephone wire" (supplì al telefono) when pulled apart.
A Taste of History
Supplì are a traditional dish of Roman cuisine, often sold in pizzerias and fried food shops (friggitorie). They are a beloved comfort food and a classic example of "cucina povera" (peasant cooking), designed to use up leftover risotto.
