For the rice
First, allow 60 g of dried porcini mushrooms to hydrate for at least an hour. Then season 1,250 g of mixed mushrooms with oil and salt in a container and leave them to bake at 250 ° for 10 minutes, spreading them well on several trays.
Brown the dried porcini mushrooms in a pan with ½ clove of garlic, oil and chilli pepper. Add the mushrooms cooked in the oven to the pan, blend with white wine and cook with the water where you have softened the dried porcini mushrooms. Once the mixture is mixed, blend the mushrooms to obtain a cream.
Spread the sausage on several trays, well crushed, and let it cook in the oven at 200 ° for 15 minutes. Once all the components are ready, you can start toasting 1 kg of rice with salt and 35 g of butter. Let it cook like a risotto with boiling unsalted water for 5 minutes. Only at the end add the mushroom cream and the sausage and cook for another minute to mix the ingredients. When the risotto is lukewarm add the Parmesan cheese.
For breading and frying
Chill the rice well, then create supplì-shaped balls in the center of which a cube of taleggio will be placed. Then prepare four bowls, in which the components of the various passages of the double breading will be put: in one there is the flour (1st passage), in another the beaten egg (2nd passage), then fine breadcrumbs (3rd passage), then a fourth passage in the egg and lastly the coarser breadcrumbs (fifth passage). Once ready, the supplì can be fried, in seed oil (preferably peanuts) at 160 °. Cook until golden brown, drain them on fried paper, salt only when they are well dried.
