Supplì al Telefono

This Roman bar snack’s adorable name may soon be outdated. When you break open one of these fried rice croquettes, the mozzarella in the center stretches long and thin—just like an old-fashioned telephone cord. Hence supplì al telefono. No one has phones with cords anymore, but the cheese-pull on these supplì is nothing short of epic.

Supplì were intended as a use for leftover risotto. They are so tasty, however, that it is worth making a batch of risotto for no other purpose
