Rice Balls Stuffed with Mozzarella

Hey everyone! Last week I was in Rome, Italy. I had the most amazing week, spending time with lovely people and learning about Italian culture and food. Italy is full of love; reunion of families and friends, and tables full of delicious food. However, most of the time I was on the go. One of the foods I liked the most was Supplì. Supplì are fried rice balls, they are made with ragu sauce or plain tomato sauce, they have melted mozzarella cheese in the center. They are too die for.
