Pumpkin Suppli (Fried balls of Pumpkin risotto stuffed with mozzarella cheese)

Today I was just on my way out of the door for a walk, when a few friends popped around for a chat. What to do, I could have been rude and mentioned I was on my out, or I could sit down and make some fried pumpkin risotto balls and eat them with friends.  No contest really. The only downside of this recipe is I have shall to go out for a run later, but the benefit was I only had two because I shared them, the calorie count would have been a lot worse otherwise.

Pumpkin Suppli With Buffalo Mozzarella

Suppli are deep fried balls of rice, and they are a perfect way to use up left over risotto or rice dishes. I have in the past made suppli from left over paella. I often make a pumpkin risotto with red peppers and brown rice with fried sage leaves, but that recipe is a little dry for suppli, which needs a creamy risotto made with short grain risotto rice.

You will notice that there is no maounts given in this recipe, well Pumpkin Suppli With Buffalo Mozzarella is not that sort of recipe. it is a leftover recipe served with love.

Ingredients
Left over pumpkin risotto
buffallo mozzarella
an egg beaten lightly
fresh brown bread crumbs

Method

Roll the pumpkin risotto in a ball and flatten slightly in your hand, put a cube of mozzarella in the centre and then roll into a ball. Dip in beaten egg and then in breadcrumbs and deep fry until golden brown. Drain and serve hot.
