Supplì - by Executive Chef Gero DiMaria at Ricciotti, The Star Vista

Supplì = Italian for French language's  Surprise, is an Italian snack native from Lazio, Italy, and consists of Risotto rice, with meat sauce (Ragu) and raw egg wrapped around a Mozzarella cheese cube, moulded into an oval or round shape, rolled in flour, raw egg, then breadcrumbs, and finally deep fried in  oil. 

Before I go further to share my experience tasting the Supplì at Ricciotti Pizza Pasta Grill, let me share with you a video from Italian Food Net           (http://www.italianfoodnet.com/eng/video/suppl-eng#social) that teaches you how to make the humble Supplì.
