We will need white round-grain rice (such rice is ideal for this dish, because it contains a lot of starch), ripe, but strong to the touch tomatoes, mozzarella cheese (I like to use mozzarella with basil for this snack) and pesto sauce.
Boil the rice in salted water, let it cool a little, add 1 tablespoon of pesto sauce, mix well.
Roll the rice balls with your hands and crush them on both sides. Cut tomatoes and mozzarella into slices.
Put a slice of tomato, a slice of mozzarella on the rice balls, and a little pesto sauce on top. You can sprinkle everything with a dried mixture of Italian herbs or decorate with basil leaves.
